Hi everyone,
I was hoping for your opinion on repotting and root pruning junipers this time of year- late December. Some sources say its ok to do it in summer. I'm wondering if it's just ok or perhaps healthy for the tree, like figs. Or, should I wait till August?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thankyou!

Re: Root pruning junipers in December
It all depends on aftercare...
I repotted my mentors Juniper last January & it thumped away as if nothing had happened. It was misted twice a day & kept in part shade for 2wks.
