Ok so I bit off way more then I can chew...
Long story short...wife wanted a juniper gone...it needs to go cause when we put a pool in it’ll get taken out by the equipment needed for the pool...so it’s getting trashed... it’s prob original to the house in 92....so I was going to take it out next year...we moved up the timeline and probably getting the pool next month ish. Or this summer. Sooooo it needed to come out now or be trashed.....
Sooo I dug it out tonight...I kept as much dirt around the ball as possible but it was all stupid long surface roots....but to late. It’s out. Placed in a 1/2 whiskey barrel back filled with well draining soil...
Is there anything else I can do to help it live. Or just keep fingers crossed and pray...i was going to prune it a bit but from what I understand the more green the more alive a juniper is....any help or advice I welcomed. Just know there’s no turning back now...
Think I should mix soil with whatever bonsai mix I have left (5-7gals worth). Or leave it. I plan on misting daily and it’s in 90% shade. Btw in Vegas and I know summers coming which is why I pulled the trigger now.
