It's recovering really well, congratulations! I haven't been too lucky in finding a good juniper in Mammoth... mostly just pines for me.
Thanks! On the Mammoth side, you won't find many or any Utah Junipers, they are across the valley in the White mountains, but you can get the permit from the forestry office in Mammoth.
I get my permit at Bishop.
Don't think so, needs to be from the forestry dept. and I think there office is in Mammoth only, not sure if there is one in Bishop.
There is. I get mine from the ranger station. We can argue about it, if you want
would a collected utah juniper survive in a western north carolina?
Amazing to get such tree with so little roots
. Will be interesting to see both these trees developed over time.
Thanks, heading out this Nov. for our next trip, hopefully I can find something remotely close to that tree
I don't know how your climate is there, but it is a drought tolerant juniper and seems to acclimate well to new environments. Probably.
How are your trees doing Paul? Seems like my Lodgepole pines took a beating in this very hot summer that just passed. I hope they survive!
Lost one lodgepole. the others are going strong, Junipers are good too, just took them out of the mist house last week. Their roots had grown out of the pots into the ground!
My Utahs turn a bluish green once established. Not as blue as Sierra junipers but not as green as California junipers.
You definitely can, really depends on the artist's desire, but most people do from what I have seen. I will probably remove the outer bark on this tree when I start to work on it, but it is on a wait and see basis at the moment.
