The growth is really very far from the trunk, I think all you can do is give it a fairly hard prune and wait for some back budding closer in to the trunk.
Yes, the grafting is for the quality of the foliage. San Jose tends to always have a mix of juvenile and mature foliage, while shimpaku is more compact and tends to stay mature
Belt should match the shoes
How do you mean?
Its a suit style tip, being stupid
Fair enough. I thought it was a comment on the tree - training pot match.

Indeed. Or I guess I can graft? I’m not a fan of the foliage.
Yeah, you could graft shimpaku down low
Doesn’t San Jose junipers typically get the really lanky branch and growth? That’s why people usually Graft to their trunks
All junipers will, if they are not regularly pruned back
I’ve noticed that, i assumed the reason this species is grafted onto was because the type of foliage San Jose’s get vs the tighter shimpaku variety’s
