I let an "expert"





Did he use scissors to prune it? As this will cause browning but is not usually fatal. Junipers are pruned by pinching. Please post pictures as it is extremely difficult to offer any advice sight unseen.icewind wrote:HELP!!

trim my bonzi , he told me that it was in the wrong pot and he would fix it for me. {The tree is a juniper of some kind} But any way he returned it, a week later and its yellow to brown in some places. He said he trimed the roots and the top because it was overgrown and to full for a bonzi !
Again, Pictures please.Now its been a week and he came buy to see it and said oooppps I'll bring you another one !![]()
The tree is not dead, I believe it could be brought back , there is still some green and it looks like maybe some new growth. any help would be wonderful.

Is your tree brown all over? or just at the tips where it was pruned?icewind wrote:I' m not sure if he cut or pinched I'll have to ask next time I yell at him, all he said is he trimmed it. The soil drains well, I water and the water runs out,

Use a fingernail to scratch a small area of the bark off. this doesn't harm the tree, I have done it many times, and my tress haven't died form it yeticewind wrote:Yes the soil is two different types , the soil close to the tree is what it came in orig. , the other soil is what he used to fill the new pot when he trimmed it. we are in arizona and its on the east side of the house, so it gets morning sun most of the day but no afternoon heat. the foilage is crispy in some places, flexible in others, it was alot greener before he took it and fixed it. no I haven't scraped it to see if it's still alive, just assumed it still wasI don't want to hurt it anymore, how do it scratch it properly.
It's not harmful & It needn't be an oversized scratch at all. Use several unobtrusive spots to check, The cambium is the layer just under the bark.icewind wrote:we are in arizona and its on the east side of the house, so it gets morning sun most of the day but no afternoon heat. the foilage is crispy in some places, flexible in others, it was alot greener before he took it and fixed it. no I haven't scraped it to see if it's still alive, just assumed it still wasI don't want to hurt it anymore, how do it scratch it properly.
...Well, This is very bad news indeed as it indicates that your 'Experts' ...Yes the soil is two different types , the soil close to the tree is what it came in orig. , the other soil is what he used to fill the new pot when he trimmed it.
