[IBC] root/top growth balance in juniper
his is a basic foliage/root balance question. I just took 2 garden junipers
I had from last year, procumbens nana in one gallon nursery pots. and styled them yesterday.. as spring is here (hopefully) and everything is thawing out. I don't have any experience with pines/ junipers. I'm thinking that i will wait untill fall to prune their roots..just letting them grow in their one gallon nursey pots.\ as there is no need to double stress them. I know about balancing the top when root pruning-- removing foliage since there are less roots to support top growth. but what about too many roots and not enough top growth? is that ever a problem? should i reduce the roots as well? ... and when i read about maintining the shape of juniper.... it is pinching out new growth. how much if any new growth should be allowed to grow for the health of the tree?? ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
