Where did LB write that?
You need to give the tree the time to get established first. Don't do too much in a too short period. Be patient.

I think he meant with what remains now. But let's wait for LB to confirm that (or not).
About the patience , ive learned from my mistakes
i wasnt going to do any work on it till next year , i was just wondering what it could turn into one day and maybe draw some plans .
That's always a good idea.

You never know whether die-back occurs. But Junipers have fairly dedicated links between roots and branches. Cutting a very big root could cause dieback in the canopy when plants are weak to compensate for the root.

the tree has recovered perfectly from the trauma ,
Here's a pic
As you can see there's loads of new growth and I only had a couple of tips dying after about a month or two from the transplant.
The problem is all the foliage is on the one side of the tree so it will need a lot of wiring so should I start wiring it now , should I start doing some thinning out now or should I still wait for next year ?
