I have something to ad to the moss on the trunk problem.
This week I was doing the usual Tuesday morning gig at the home of my late teacher. There are still a few things there that need care. One little juniper, probably a Parsoni, had moss growing up the base of the trunk so I began removing it... Roots had sprouted from the base of the trunk under the moss.
An accidental air layer I guess... They had made quite a bump in the trunk at that point. Would have been very unsightly. So I made a make shift collar to put around the trunk at that point and filled with soil. At some point next year will see if it flourished and cut off the old roots. Learn something new every day...
