Can I replant a "dead" Juniper bush to make it come back to life.?
Question:It's about 95% brown and after 4 years in the earth never took to rooting. Was thinking if I changed the location it would come back.
Answers:
It sounds like a goner, but you never know. Junipers are usually very hardy. I had an arbor vitae in the same condition, trimmed all the dead branches off and now it's fine. You might try relocating it to a sunnier location with drier, acidic soil. Remember that the roots spread out near the surface, not deep, so make the new hole at least 3 times wider in circumference than the root ball. Also inspect it for insects, before re-planting.
Probably not. The best thing to do is get a new one and look up best locations for them.
Chances are at this point, it is toast. If it is in a prominent place in your yard, replace it, if not give it a try and use miracle grow.
Good luck.
no
If there is any life in it, you can try.but don't hold your breath. Check for soil compatability....
its dead, just go buy something different that would grow
It would appear that you aren't Jesus. So...better just assume it has permanently died and gone to dead Juniper heaven. Sorry for my tasteless joke. WIth plants, it's usually better not to wait so long for them to recover. Just get another one and let it get started growing so it can do what you want it to do for you.
