Don't Salute the Sargent......

[sorce]

Or he will get shot.

An appearance on VA' s thread....
This tree got the M.F. treatment.


Before....

A special shot for Mrs. @Nwaite


Carnage....
I pulled a root up and off...
All this work was done via hands...
No trimming...

Maybe I did use snips a bit.

After....

Note...this is not a bonsai....more like an experiment....
A way to lose some garbage before I move.
I was looking for the Dead Tree forum...But it is a juniper!

I clicked the first option just because I liked it But then the second option sounded nice too. You make it so hard to decide.

Seriously, I think survival will depend on the care afterwards.

But you potted up the cuttings

[sorce]

care after

Just water!
I'm counting on the prime moon phase for root growth!

But you potted up the cuttings

Grimmy

Do you mean my crap tree?
I tossed those remains.

Lol, i thought it was a noob's thread with another "inside"-juniper, but then i saw the pot

 

[ColinFraser]

Why can't I vote for both options

 

[sorce]

Why can't I vote for both options

You should be able to...
I thought I left it open for 2 options!

Lol!

[sorce]

then i saw the pot

I was wondering yesterday if people are becoming familiar with them!

Lol!

Nice tree

Nice finger

And even better sweet tattoo. ..

Give it a chance. You just never know. Was it growing when you did this?

It was...and it still(yeah that's nothing)
Looks good.

I tell you sure...
No more Nanas.
They just don't dig me and this weather.

I will be happy with Elms, Buckthorns, and J.Crack.

Oh...and Mugo for a pine of course!
Maybe them Jacks.

I was out looking at them a minute ago...
And my "blue rug" is Friggin electric blue and mad healthy...bought and wired in spring...minor wire...but I took off like 70% of the foilage.

I think if I stay away from fall wiring I could be ok.... I think it's a little too stressful before an unprotected winter.

Thanks for not saluting him...

Looky there.

Takes the M.F. treatment in stride..




It's not thriving...but at this point...living is good enough!

The Sargents are tough as nails! (Obviously!)
I went with "who cares it sucks anyway" because that is pretty much my motto! Seriously though, pic 2 above looks pretty cool! Like the movement...

You got a yappy looking photo bombing little dog behind it though... That dog ain't protecting shit man! I want a dog big enough to scare of ISIS if they come to town- Yours wouldn't scare a squirrel! LOLLING
I do like Sargents... They grow quick for a Juni, this guy is going to explode next Spring if you bump it up to a larger pot!

Good luck with it man!

Awww...he scares squirrels...
And a grown ass man once..

But he's a sweetheart like me!

Get into a larger pot, not a basket and make sure the surface roots are covered with water retaining substrate. Serious, I never let mine dry out and the shallow basket you use is promoting it. All of your Juniper might have survived had you done that Also, consider a organic or semi organic mix so you don't need to water more then twice a day. They love Sun but being in a windy climate you seem to be battling dry conditions and that will resolve it.

The only way to fly!

I have friend in the Army K-9 training facility. He says over there the whole population are scared of their dogs. The German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois.

Awww...he scares squirrels...

There's an ad for a movie called Pets. There is a dog on there that reminds me of Monkey.

Bush.

[sorce]

@Anthony Though I am a bit skeptical of the whole, "top does what the bottom does theory".....
And because this thing is obviously not going to be "vigorous" this year...

I like to think that the basket is keeping the foliage in this pretty reigned in.
If only to prove Sifu wrong, (that baskets could help Junipers), as it is one of my goals in bonsai!

Just even short healthy growth.

[VAFisher]

Looking good man.

This tree may very well need to start saluting you, Mr. Pokemon Go Master.

It didn't die!
