What should i do with this tree?
Im thinking of bending the trunk...
The trunk is too thick to bend with wire
Should i just leave it.
I bought it as a nursery plant

My first priority would be to get the plant healty. if juniperus are stresed they produce juvenile foliage.

I think I would bend the low llong branch. Remove the top (Leave a small yin). And yes, perhaps plant in the ground, and let all the small side-branches grow out to get some extra bulk and taper on the lower trunk.
