Sierra Juniper, Yamadori #2526

Collected. Few roots, cut trunk with pry-bar. Wonderful, low arcing trunk, twisting live vein around natural deadwood. Will need extra attention and care to recover and grow roots. Will use a heated pad below, larger contained humidity greenhouse and humidifier.

For root development, oriented potting in this manner. Once roots emerge, final potting trunk desired to be more upright, then fold branches down for compact height.

Greenhouse: 40”x36”x30”



RECOVERY

  • Greenhouse managing humidity, elevated for sunlight, side of house for limited strong daylight.

  • Watering based on soil dryness and foliage visible/tactile health (2-3X each week)

  • Humidifier at night with a small fan and open paths for fresh air. 90-95% RH. Off during the day and more panels open to dry out, 70-75% RH.
