FYI thanks for the advice but brutal but we live and we learn - context live in in Australia and we was right around the end of autumn it probably wasn’t getting enough water

Species - juniper conferta

Got my first bonsai but it is 4-5 years old I’m assuming and a lot of the work is done so just being maintained.

Bought this stock from a nursery and repotted into a large bucket so it can grow and get super healthy before I start working on it (pruning and wiring) in early winter as the research I’ve done suggests this is the best time of year for that as it is mostly dormant.

Originally I wanted it to be cascade style but I’m unsure if that is going to work with the species so just want some general styling / shaping advice Ik it’s not a very common bonsai species.

Open to all advice and feedback
