My recent acquisitions. Taxus is not in soil yet. Just collected yesterday, but watered the roots, and its been cold and grey here.
Junipers: help with the ID?
I think procumbens. Chopped back last spring by home owner, back budded nicely. He told me he transplanted them to their collected location about 10 years ago, so they were surprisingly easy to come out. Potted within the hour with a healthy root ball, into 100% pumice, without disturbing the core roots too much. snug fit into their pots. Black bagged and sitting in the shade with 1-2 hours of late afternoon sun. Foliage has been misted and covered immediately after every other day (if its dry). soil was watered on day 1, but not since (10 days ago).

Lots of feeder roots all around the base. Foliage chopped back last week by home owner who planned to toss it in the chipper. He said I could take it. Dug out by landscapers with mini excavator. They knew i wanted it, so they were was careful as a mini excavator can be. I put a clean cut on all the structural roots, as they were pretty mangled. watered and bagged the ball, and its going into a pot in two days with 100% pumice, and baked clay pellets. Currently 40 degrees F, and sitting in the shade. Fingers crossed, wish me luck
