Hello everyone,

I recently dug this tree up from my college campus, and am uncertain what specific type of tree it is ( I am guessing a form of juniper? ) but I would really like a more specific answer. Also what should I do with it? I already cut a lot of the branches off to kinda make it the right shape...but I have no experience with wiring whatsoever and really am at a loss with what to do next, so suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I attached a picture of the fortunate* tree below.

** it was a fortunate tree in that the campus gardeners where going to dig it up and toss it away! but I got to it first before they reached that side of campus, lol it was growing in the gravel between the two science buildings, and had barely any dirt, I am really surprised it survived in those conditions.

Thank you so much!

Nice one ! for having a go and keeping it alive

My advice is to just keep watering and keeping alive, by doing this your little Juniper will grow some more foliages and hopefully a few shoots will become new branches from the main trunk.
Let it grow bushy with lots of foliage and then you will have chance to style it.

Have Fun, regards Craig

Hi LuLu,

Also, being this tree a Juniper, you should place it outside. Keeping it inside your house would eventually mean a dead sentence. Oh, and yes... Congrats, good finding before it was dug out and tossed away.

You also may need to get it in the ground for many years to allow the trunk to thicken.

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for all the advice. I will definitely replant it outside....How many years should I wait? Also what kind of soil is best for junipers...and exactly what kind of juniper is it?? this last question if answered will allow me to find the answers to all my other questions so I would appreciate it even if someone could only answer this.
