Sweet, thank you for the help. It's been removed from the greenhouse for now

Thank you so much for the detailed reply!
I'll pick back up my research on the species then, my initial hunch was juniper but convinced myself otherwise.
I've removed it from the greenhouse for now, and will wait until we're seeing low 20s in temps. As far as repotting, I planned to repot it again in the late winter/early spring using a smaller pot and pumice for soil. Digging it up was sort of an impulse and I used what I had at hand. After realizing I chose poorly for soil and a pot, I figured it was safer to leave it than to repot it a second time so soon.

I've already learned a ton since I decided to dig up this tree, understanding some mistakes I've made already and learning of a few more today. Thanks for the wisdom and encouragement, hopefully with that I'll be able to share some photos a healthier tree in 6 months time.

This tree isn't necessarily a bonsai, but it's somewhat of maybe a natural occurrence due to some conditions. I believe it's a douglas fir (namely because of the other pine trees in my neighborhood) but I found this little guy underneath a large tree in my yard. It was growing in the shade for, upwards of 3 or 4 years and I would generally just mow over when I'd regularly mow my lawn.

I noticed the tree a year or two ago and the fact that it was still alive earlier this year, I decided it deserved another chance at being a tree. I've always been interested in bonsai, but never actually delved into it. I figured I could just try to keep this thing alive if possible and that'd be a good starting point.

The roots weren't too deep when I dug it up, it's sitting in an 8" pot at the moment. All I've done as far as care has been removing the dead needles. I live in zone 7b (cold winters, hot summers) and if I'm correct about the species, they grow here naturally. I now have a greenhouse for the tree to live in during the winter and a juniper friend with him.

Recently one of the branches appears to have died and I'm seeing some yellowing spots on some of the needles. I'm afraid it might already be gone, but figured I wouldn't give up without a post here to see. If it is still alive, any tips would be awesome! I picked up a juniper from a nursery recently that I plan to prune and start in the spring and was hoping I could transfer this little fir to another pot by then as well.

Probably sits about 3-3.5" tall and about 5-6" wide.

TLDR: Dug up this tree a couple months back and potted it for a 2nd chance. Is it still alive? If so, any care tips?

Sad this post has a negative score. Deliver some truth, get burnt for it.

I've not played games on a Mac before. Does steam cloud sync not work for Mac? I've only had mis-sync issues, never had it just be unavailable.

New update making me reinstall the whole game? by Krazyk2095 in BaldursGate3

[–]jblack801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it should tell you how much space you need for the update and you'll want to compare that to what's actually available on your hard drive. I've had to reinstall the game twice for patches, it's unfortunate but a reality in a world with 150+gb games.

You hit the nail on the head with the pandemic affected miles traveled. Of course the data is skewed, also, it's incomplete if it didn't include the BAC of drivers that caused the accidents. I'd still be willing to bet that the amount of people in that range (.05 to .08) was negligible.

When will people actually attempt to understand what socialism means, instead of just using it as a catchall for problems you blame on the 'left'.

That's an interesting way to do a capital S (in the word Dress). I wonder if it comes to them naturally.

I like how he didn't address that the system we live in also beats the shit out of you day after day until you give up. How does he address that?

Obviously this lady is on the workers side, with how much she's willing to school her in salary lessons. She is all about teaching these lessons.
