Re: Mojave Junipers (A Dig)

While I prepared the box and soil, I soked the tree in a bucket of B-1 water to help reduce shock. The tree was planted in mostly pumice with some sand and a little bark.
80% pumice, 10% sand, 10% bark. This will give the juniper the dry enviornment that it is used to, while still providing a mixture that will water the tree suitably.

The left pic of course shows the tree potted up. The tree measures 6 inces across the trunk, 35 inches tall, and about 36 inches across. There are still some branches to be pruned off, but I will get some opinions here and from my bonsai freinds at home.
