Seedling
Pulled these 3 juniper from a local abandoned parking lot about 3 weeks ago. Cleaned up the roots and put them in these boxes. It was wet and rainy for the two weeks following that but the last week has had lots of Florida sun with scattered and sometimes heavy showers. The soil has remained pretty well saturated. They get full sun until about 2pm when the shadow of the house shades them. I took about 1/3 of the foliage off one of them after potting. In the last few days I’ve noticed a bit of browning on some tips. More so on the bushier one that I didn’t prune at all - it’s also limp and weak looking. I assume there is too much foliage and the roots can’t keep up. I’m planning on removing some of the foliage tonight. The 2 bigger ones are mostly all dead wood (I think) with all the foliage originating from one main “branch” on the trunk.
I don’t know if my timing was best for collecting but I couldn’t help myself when I spotted these. I’m really hoping they make it - suggestions welcome!
