‘Tis the season...In various other places I have seen others post of having to clean up yellowed foliage on shimpakus.
My opinion is the same now as it was 2 weeks ago, old foliage falling off. It happens and it is normal. My Shimpaku junipers are shedding like German Shepherds now, but it’s the old, interior growth. That is normal. Looks healthy, right?@coachspinks
I am having the same problem currently.
Mr @Brian Van Fleet what is your opinion, Sir?
Thanks for reading.
Fine!My opinion is the same now as it was 2 weeks ago, old foliage falling off... ...
This is how we learn. You may want to take a picture of the pest/bark and post it here.At first I would like to thank you @coachspinks for your "hospitality" and letting me post my questions in your own thread.
Fine!
It's good to have your reassurance.
Foliage of my juniper is similar to yours.
May I remind my other question if you don't mind, i.e. Can I safely remove/detach the thin outer layer of bark now in summer?
The bark is a hiding place for those aphids or any other and I would like to uncover and get rid of them.
However, I do not know if the tree is ready to have its bark removed... Perhaps it can be damaged in trying to remove it?
Thanks everybody!
Yes you can. I will be removing the shaggy bark on my avatar Shimpaku this weekend.However, May I remind my other question if you don't mind, i.e. Can I safely remove/detach the thin outer layer of bark now in summer?
