This Chinese juniper has been in this painted concrete growing pot for at least two years.
I have removed it from the pot to get a better view of the trunk and nebari (rootage). Shown from the other side.
After pruning. Some of the branches have become jin (intentional deadwood). No wiring is required at this time.
After replanting in a larger concrete growing pot. Some roots have been pruned.
