Sargent in ground today, counting on sorce's Rain-n-Wane now

[Japonicus]

A little history 1st on this Sargent juniper. Purchased May 2019 in 3 gallon nursery pot.



Did an initial reduction later that month May '19


Then by mid August 2020 it had recovered quite well.


so I did an 85% reduction ^


Then that brings me to today...

more to follow...

So today I thought I might pot it up. After all Full moon was yesterday and we have a rainy week on tap...



Decided I'd like some more girth, so I began raking it out.


The soil was like fresh and fairly loose so I removed what felt doable. While raking the roots out
the left of the 3 junipers was more like a loose tooth. When I divided it, not that many roots were
feeding it, or not by then anyway. So I title this directed at @sorce because I'm needing all the powers
that be to kick in and lay their blessings on these, particularly the one with so very few roots.
Rain-n-Wane


I planted them in the flower bed behind these 3 JWP. My wife didn't even notice.
Also planted a 1 gallon Japanese Cedar over a couple cats in the ground.


2-3" on tap. Hoping for the best.
