Hi golgotha,

Get a piece of hose. Put your finger on one end and fill with water, make sure there is no air left in the tube. Put a finger on the second end. Place one end of the tube into the tub with your fingers still blocking both ends. Make sure the tube outside the tub is lower than the end inside the tub. Release your finger from the inside end of the tube. Now release the outside end. This should start the siphoning.

Got home from work yesterday to find this turned on its head due to 100km/hr winds we had.
Unsure as to how long it had been on its side. I stood it up again and filled it with some mix in hope that it hadnt been there too long letting the wind suck the life out of the rootball.
I had done a little wiring and anchoring in preparation for the gusty conditions. Obviously not enough. I have now staked and tied off to the ground in hope that it will stay upright in the winds that have been forecast in the near future.

that is a bummer. Hope it does not harm it

What a great find! I second the siphoning idea. Had to do it heaps with fish tanks when I was little. (Luckily with no fish swallowing incidents). Spewing about the wind.. I would hope that with the cooler weather it wouldn't have dried out *too* much. Did you lose any branches in the fall?

the rougher the better

Hows this going?

I agree I'd like to see how it's goinf

any updates? I'd really like to know if it survived

Same here but is still early to tell.
even if they survive the initial 6 months they still need to cared for well for a few seasons to be sure

That is a bad ass Juniper.. I would be most interested to see progressions.

Any other bad boyz out there?

Welldone, great find.
It should be shooting back on old wood by now. Mine has been out the ground 8 months so started styling this week with lots of new growth.
Projected tree is a long way off but I aiming for radical gins and canopy. 5 yr project plus.(see dr'n) Goodluck. Keep the feeding up.

Alan that is shaping up to be a nice Juni and I like the design you have installed for this speci..

Lovely stock there Alan and good plan for it too
