Styled this juniper in nov 2020.
it did well after the styling and branch removal. Yet in winter 2021 unortunately couple lower branches browned out and I assume are dead. A shame.as they were giving a wider base to the tree. Not sure if they died from wiring as they weren't aggressively bent or from the bad nursery soil, yet they had grown after being styled so believe wiring isn't to blame. Soil remained q bit too wet in winter.
Yet looking closely at them there is still a hint of green so does that mean they might still be alive?
Also another mishap during wiring where the main trunk cracked at a severe bend.
From the back side more than 50 percent of the live vein is still intact so I assume tree wouldn't have an issue surviving but as this part holds the weight of the tree which will increases is this a risk ? Is there anything I can do to help it heal better or get stronger ? Also should I sand the damaged portion to make it look nicer and also believe decrease water accumulating and causing rot ?
The top part is not crazy healthy but looks good enough
Plan is to repot into bonsai soil and pit this year in april would that be a risk or do u think its ok ?
Also any idea what type if juniper this is
