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
This is going on the front page.

Cuttings:

Junipers are prickly.
