Thanks for the reply.

As far as i know, this applies to most of the conifers, especially junipers. I am trying to figure out which root feeds which branch whenever I want to root prune my junipers drastically.

This is not a good news. :=( I think, I shall observe it for a few years and if there will be no progression, I have to give up and burry it back to ground.

Thanks for the reply.
