Hey Miraiites,
Here’s a J. chinensis San Jose. I let go of preconceptions about foliage and learned to love its juvenile foliage, it is denser than the mature foliage. Anyway, here is a before picture:
and here are two after images, 180 degrees appart around potential fronts. Tell me which one you like most to be the front and please comment on the design and suggest improvements.
By the way, in a serendipitous way, I finished wiring this after dark and seeing the pictures, I like these more than that during the day, has a studio feel to it, seems better than the photo with daylight.
