I have a tiny farmhouse in rural PA w/ lots of fields & forest... I enjoy being surrounded by as many plants as possible, both outdoors & in my home!

Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star'

The lower leaves are turning very light green, some almost yellow... That's not normal, right? I thought that's why they're called "evergreen" ...Anyone know what's wrong &/or how to fix it??? #GThelp

@aes239 deffo looks too wet. Likes freely drained soils ideally in a sunny spot. Make sure that container has holes in it for drainage.

Is this to be a Bonsai?

@lovestogarden Hmm, interesting idea! 😀 Matt found the seedling (roots & all) lying on the side of the road & brought it home 😏 So no definite plans yet, aside from keeping it alive for now!

@lovestogarden We did try once before to turn a little tree into a bonsai, but it died 😕 So maybe this could be our (more successful!) 2nd attempt ☺

@franshinegee Thank you, again! Found laying along the road but with roots grown & everything, so we brought it home to plant, of course! lol
