MISCLAIMS

Hi! Im not sure of the Juniper type--it's probably a Nana--they seem to be the most popular. It really was a beautiful tree at one point in time!

I had replaced some of the soil during the summer w/a soil that retained more moisture due to the extreme dryness of some of our days. The other trees did fine w/it but perhaps maybe wasn't a good idea for this one. I repotted everyone w/a regular bonsai conifer mix--again, the 2 smaller ones seem to be doing just fine.

I went out and did the scratch test on two sides of the trunk and it's coming up brown. It still looks like there are just a few new buds still trying to come up but the tree is in depressingly sad shape as compared to the others. I had replaced some soil recently as it seemed like its feet were dry. If I allow some dry time, might it spring back up?

Im off to home depot to buy some cedar mulch and bins to set up in the mini greenhouse to store them in for the winter. Should I hold onto this? May it spring up come spring next year? It's just so sad looking right now!

Thanks for the prompt reply!
