Well where I work there are some incredible parsons junipers. I have looked at them many times and thought, man I would like to collect those. Baseball bat trunks, nice curves, very mature trees. So I show up to work this morning and a landscaping company has ripped out half of them with a small bucket crawler. Nooooo. What did I do in my business clothes but go out and dig through the pile to see if anything had enough roots to save. I have about 5 that are in my truck now that are "iffy". The crew is going to try and save the rest of them for me. There were some really awesome trees that just got destroyed. I was sick in thinking what awesome bonsai they would have been. My question is I do not have near enough bonsai soil or containers to try and plant them. So should I just ground plant them at my house and try again in a few years after they stabilize to dig them? I am doubtful that any will make it as they are essentially bare rooted. Should I also remove most of the foliage to match what roots are there? Thanks
