Here is the situation. Back at my parent's house, just outside Atlanta, my mom informed me that the 5 or 6 junipers in the side yard will be bulldozed anyday because they're in the lot next door, which was previously empty and unowned, not my parent's lot. These trees, to my best recollection, are about 10-14 years old ranging from 5-6 feet tall, with slightly smaller foliage spread, with trunks about 4-6 inches in diameter. Anyhow, I'm looking for advice from people with experience digging junipers. When is the best time to grab these guys? (I know it's not in the middle of summer, but I'd rather dig them up and at least try if it comes to it) Also, how much of the rootball should I retain? What about foliage pruning? What specifics should I rigorously follow in their aftercare? PLEASE HELP ME, I would hate to see these trees go to waste. Any and all help, advice, criticism is greatly apprecieated. Thanks.
