Hi everyone,
I bought this tree last year as my first juniper. Its fair to say that its been a steep learning curve.
I pinched some of the lower foliage in early spring but didn't do it correctly and lost more foliage than I wanted. A couple of months later I noticed the top foliage had a load of new growth but the bottom foliage didn't, I then looked at the roots and decided to repot it. I trimmed back a very small amount of the root base which I'm starting to think was another mistake and I've put the tree into shock.
I've placed it out of direct sun except later in the afternoon / evening when it gets some but it's not strong. I'm also trying to ensure I get the water levels right.
I've read that when a tree isn't healthy you can try putting it in a bigger pot. Would do you guys suggest?
