Hi yall,
I have 3 california? junipers I collected from a clients yard back in october, They were planted in 1986. This is my first time digging up junipers and I was wondering about the survival chances.
The cons:
1) The roots covered 100 sq. foot area along with most of the foliage I had to remove. The rootbals were big and woody however there were a decent amount of feeders. I had to make alot of big 2 to 3 inch cuts wich were not sealed and are now under soil.
2) Wrong time of year?
The pros:
1) I mist daily along with foliar feed kelp/MG every week
2) Soil mix is fox farms ocean forest and 1/2 perlite and pumice
3) They are in complete shade untill spring
4) first 2 weeks I used Miccorizzae and superthrive(I know) as well as seaweed extract/fish are my ferts of choice every 2 weeks after.
Most of the foliage looks deep green and fairly robust, however I have of late noticed some of the foliage had shrunk in diamiter and lost some color and this is affecting entire branches. I know that junipers will not tell you for a while when they die, I try asking them but they don't talk. Does anyone know from experience what their chances might be and/or have any suggestions or critiques on my procedures.
Thanx
