Juniper - My first wiring/pruning w/ pics.

Ok, so I just pruned and wired my Juniper. Nothing fancy.

Before Aug 08.

After Dec 1st 08.

As you can see, I wired the right side branch to straighten it out a bit and removed two limbs from the right side foliage pad using my new concave cutters.

Also wired a small branch in the top foliage pad in the front. Then wired a small branch on the left pad to bring it into the pad and not sticking straight out the left side.

I know this is a little after the fact but should I do anything with the wounds I created with the cutters? Elmer's glue?

Cuda,

I don't think I would worry about sealing the wounds. I never did on my Juniper and never had any issues.

I never had an issue either but one time I did use a bonsai wound glue from a website. It did work pretty good but... I'm with Norm, you most likely don't need anything.

Nice job by the way!!!
