juniper

Here is my juniper. It came from Wal-mart this spring.

When I got it, it was too late to do any root work, so I left it in the original pot. As the summer progressed the roots started to clog the drainage holes in the bottom. I knew something had to be done so I slip potted it today.I cut the old pot off and put it into a bigger one with more soil without disturbing the root ball. Since this tree is going to be a cascade I put it in it's new position and added some soil, and watered it. I made sure the roots on the new top of the soil were covered. Next spring I will start the root work and put it in a smaller pot.
