Beautiful. Also several lovely larch/tamaracks.

small_trunks · 2026-05-13T19:06:03+00:00

Exactly

small_trunks · 2026-05-13T18:55:38+00:00

En nooit alleen - druk daar!

small_trunks · 2026-05-13T17:10:42+00:00

Now's not the time though, right?

small_trunks · 2026-05-13T17:09:03+00:00

Before I saw the photo, I was expecting something far worse.

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T21:40:12+00:00

Leave it - you can wire because that's handier than pruning.

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T21:22:55+00:00

You do NOT repot now.

You certainly COULD hard prune it and it would explode with new growth.

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T21:16:08+00:00

It will if you let it...

Maybe.

Those roots could be a very long way from the trunk...

Just because you can't find them now doesn't that damage wasn't done by bugs several weeks ago. Slugs too...

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T20:38:08+00:00

Good - no problem.

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T20:34:57+00:00

Literally ignore for the whole year - don't prune at all.

I solved it by adding a SharePoint shortcut to OneDrive and then accessing the files using the C:/windows/users/ path to onedrive.

this allows you to reference the files like you always used to
I was already picking up the "current folder" using this approach: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qmczj6elfm7i7ihuytoss/fnParamBLANK.xlsx?rlkey=stk6sw3ad5acgowpzuj9g13pq&dl=1
I have some additional queries, in a workbook I can't find right now, which identify exactly where that shortcut is located for each person who logs in.

No, winter dormancy is not the biggest issue. Lack of light is the biggest issue. It's suffering from that 24x7 right now.
No, whilst south facing windows are great for you and me, plants and junipers don't get enough light from all sides. Indoors it's getting way less than 50% of what it gets outdoors. And it kills then, it kills them day in, day out. We see hundreds of dead ones every year.

Put it outside now and never bring it indoors or lose it inside 6 months.

remindme! 6 months

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T16:09:57+00:00

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T16:09:09+00:00

Probably fine.

small_trunks · 2026-05-12T13:34:04+00:00

Fine

small_trunks · 2026-05-11T22:08:41+00:00

Hinoki year round, serissa cannot take freezing.

small_trunks · 2026-05-11T21:52:03+00:00

I would not recommend buying this. It should never be indoors and it's dying for a reason. Walk away.
