When is it okay to clean a Rocky Mountain Juniper?
One of my native - collected RMJs is making great progress after potting, pruning and styling over the last two years. I comprehensively wired and pruned the entire tree in April / May and it is beautiful and thriving. Now I want to clean it; I'm excited to see the live veins and deadwood by removing the bark while using the opportunity to clean the trunk and inspect for borers.
Here in Denver we have 30 more days of 85 - 95 degrees, then 3 - 4 weeks of growing season left.
I'm excited, how soon can I do this without risk?
