Default [IBC] Claft branches rooting

In a 'claft' style (Hal Mahoney's specialty), I was wondering
if the
individual branches of the Junipers (that are wired up to look

like trees)
will eventually form their own roots and actually become their

own tree with
time. Does anyone have experience with that?

Conifers in general aren't known for their ability to ground
layer (which is what you're asking a claft-style display to do).
If you happened to put rooting hormone on the stubs of any
branches you cut off on the underside of the tree(s) you'd get
roots (maybe). Otherwise . . .

I don't think Hal has e-mail.

I seem to recall that Marty H is a neighbor when Hal is up north
.. . .
