Hello all!
I hope i am posting this in the right place.
Have a BIG problem here and really need help i bought this San Jose Juniper from KaizenBonsai late last year since i wanted a Juniper in my collection and the price was right.
It was looking fine when i got it, not great but fine, light green foliage (in the picture it looks greener then it was) and the soil was very wet.
Winter was coming (Scandinavia Zone 5), so i put it in the winter protection with my other trees.
I live in an apartment with all my trees living on my balcony, so i have built a big Styrofoam box witch i have fiber blanket (to protect from frost) and then plastic film over to also protect trees from wind and rain, and blankets around the pots, all other trees look just fine, so cant be that it was badly winter protected?
Inside the winter storage (juniper already taken out).
Spring is right round the corner, but the tree has just gotten worse and worse so i took it in to take a closer look.
Most of the foliage is light gray/brown and dry, breaks of easy and probably dead, but it has a few green flexible pads of foliage left (not many at all).
I also noticed when removing some moss to examine the soil that its super compact, no drainage at all!!
What can i possible do to hopefully revive this what looks like a dying Juniper?
Thanks!
