This looks great! Is the dead wood juniper also?

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yes thank you. The deadwood was from juniper procumbens that I bought cheap because it was neglected and I knew it probably wouldn't survive. The graft is a clearance rack old gold juniper from the big box store. I found out that there were actually two Junipers in one small pot, so I split them to make it easier to engage with the deadwood. Obviously it lost a lot of roots in the process, so I'm not sure it will survive, but this was a fun exercise either way.
