Thanks for the help! All I can do is hope for the best!

I have at the very least a basic knowledge of plants, but obviously I have a lot to learn. I know plants have a dormancy period, what I don't know is whether or not these roots are still alive. These roots are very thin and fibrous; so if they don't snap to the touch their fine? Some of the roots are still pliable, which is giving me more hope.

After reading your response I went back to a ginko I repotted earlier today and made sure there were no air pockets; I think this is why my last juniper died over the summer. I repotted last spring, and probably made the same mistake.

I'm assuming I should keep this Juniper moist but not soggy? I know the tree could develop root rot if kept too wet after screwing around with it's roots, but how moist? Should I give it a hardening off period, say like a week or two before watering, or should I just make sure it stays moist?

thanks a lot!
