MISCLAIMS

I guess Im closer to the Ocean. Im in Little Egg
Harbor on the Ocean, Atlantic & Burlington borders
about 1/2 hr north of Atlantic City.

I currently have 3 healthy junipers (all quite small),
the one sick juniper residing in the bed now next to
the Azalea thanks to your good advice, and one little
native Cedar tree that I potted that Im attempting to
"bonsai" up myself.

All my trees were kept out of doors all summer and all
but the sick juniper did really well. Juniper #3 just
arrived from Florida last week so Im acclimating him
to our cooler temps.

The Junipers and the Cedar are on the back deck in my
greenhouse w/the zipper front undone for air
circulation and as to not roast the poor things. It's
been getting pretty cold back here, my back yard is
the state forest and temps have been getting down to
around 35 at night I believe due to the bogs. I put
the healthy trees in mulch buckets w/mulch at the
bottom and mulch surrounding the tops so the trees can
overnight w/little stress. The Florida tree gets
brought inside as I don't think it can handle an
overnight here just yet.

The sick Juniper actually looks a little better since
I took your advice. I mulched up around him as well.


I appreciate the time you have taken to help me. Im
learning that this bonsai thing is much more difficult
than I had anticipated. I have a ton of plants and
some of them are 20+ years old--so I hate to see a
plant die. If I kill another Juniper, I think this
will be it for me!

Thanks again
Looking forward to your advice
Melisa
