Hi all,

Decided to cut and restyle my very first tree i bought years ago and never touched since.
I know i should have waited till spring but i got itchy fingers and cut it down by about half, gave her a big drink of seasol and will leave her in the shade for a week or two.
Question is do you think it will be ok with the proper care or has my eagerness to do it now gonna cost me ?

Cheers

they are very resilient, so it will flourish with new growth in a week or so.

No harm done. Seasol a bit of shade on the hot days and its good to go.

There is no problem pruning and working on junipers, indeed most species, at this time of year. Not even sure why you would be worried??
