Would these varieties thrive in the ground, in south florida?
I have five 10-16 year old pasrons junipers in the ground and was considering grafting kishu or itoigawa to have denser, more interesting foliage to work with. I was also considering collecting several of each and attempting to grow them in the ground (buying nursery can stage 2-3y shimpaku) with pond basket so I can remove them and train them to become bonsai later.
In my environment (lots of heat, high humidity, frequent rain in summer, drier heat in the autumn with 80 degree days persisting until november, and a late winter- early spring dry heat period (my busiest for active watering), would these varieties survive in the ground?
Will be posting more detailed photos of my in ground parsons junipers tomorrow around noon so you guys can comment on whether or not it is worth it to graft japanese varieties onto it.
