I think the problem with the lowest branch is that it is closer to the trunk than the one on top , this kinda interferes with the overall triangle shape, my plan was to let the new growth extend so it would come further out and create a good triangle and also ( dunno if this is possible ) make a branch extend further down ,from the bottom branch, to create another pad lowering the cascade more . I understand this will take a long time , the short cut would be cutting the lowest branch and keeping it a semi cascade , what would do you think is the best option ?
Ps: if you didn't understand what I mean please tell me :)

Here she is again, after years of just watering and the occasional fertilizing i finally got back on track this year with my trees, i lost most of them due to neglect but at least this Juniper is still alive. I feel like its reached its final shape and it just needs refining over the next few years. I would love to hear what you guys think of it as you helped me with the tree during the past 9 years.

That is a cool come back for a quite old topic... Hahahah
I haven't seen this post, since I'm not here for that long, but the tree is looking cool, maybe you can compact it more with the time.

Really cool tree.

Hi all,
I recently found the courage to actually prune my Juniper properly( I did recieve a small push ? ).
I removed all the wire and letting it recover till next year when i will repot it. Im almost certain im changing the front to the one that sweeps towards the right and im also contemplating jinning the whole bottom branch and just keeping the top branch making a literati. What do you guys think ?

I do not think it would be concidered a litterati if you leave that bottom branch.?

My idea was to remove that bottom branch, just keeping a bit of a jin howeverits just an idea for now, im gonna work on the windswept/semicascade/ twin trunk for now ?. But I would like to hear opinions on where you guys think I should go with it.
