I’t seems I am continually being reminded not to go soo hard on my nursery stock.
I don’t know the history of this plant as I bought it off someone at a silent auction.
From the look of the container, I’m thinking it was in there for awhile. Looking back-at this photo- I’m also noticing a dullness to the foliage and some brown needles in there from the get go
I did this work early spring on this juniper.
I believe I removed about 40% of the foliage and a couple bigger problem branches.
The roots were alright but definitely didn’t fill the pot. I didnt have to do much root pruning to fit in the new pot.
I tried to gently comb out roots and removed most of the old soil. My cat is not impressed!
The browning/ die back is worsening. I’ve left it in dappled light since repotting. I have not fertilized it yet.
I knew my work would slow this guys down, but I didn’t think I’d kill it. Anyways, If anyone has any advice and/or feedback I would really appreciate it!!!!!
Thank you.
