Splitting a nursery juniper
radiocom
11 years ago
Hello,
I purchased a Green Juniper from the local home improvement store and it has three nice size trunks. Would the juniper survive if I cut the third trunk away from the others to make two bonsai's?
I am wanting to saw down thru the middle of the root system to obtain as much rooting with each segment of trunk.
Hope I am explaining this correctly.
Thanks for looking and advising.
Larry
