Worth a try
Hi,
I would be tempted to do an exploratory dig, - but the longer you leave it the more the roots are going to become entwined with those of the larger tree seen in the background and the less likely it will be that you can remove and keep alive. The roots of this big one will always starve the juniper of essential nutrients - so try and get it out into a ex-large pot and settled in before winter - where you can start feeding and developing next season. Interesting twists and turns on the trunk ! Ian. Last edited by Ian Homer : 18-Aug-2004 at 09:44 AM. |

John, if it were me, sure I'd dig it up but I'd wait till Spring. I've been amazed at how many trees will recover from the worst insults to their roots at the right time of year (Spring), but how poor the results I get are at the wrong time of year (Summer and Fall). Especially conifers. Especially tress weakened by the kind of situation this tree is in.
