Blue Alps Juniper: January 2023 maintenance

In December I noted that this tree needed some upkeep. A bare month later, let’s get into it.

Before:

Lopsided & unbalanced growth (top left, bottom right),
no clear branch structure,
high growth blocking light to lower growth,
and a silly branch on bottom left.

branches going up and down between pads,
branches growing back towards the trunk,
and weeds in the soil.

After:

The foliage is generally more conical, although several are still pompoms at the end of sticks, so I’ll need to repeat this over time, pushing inwards

Cuttings:
