One thing about Bonsai , it teaches patience, not a strong point
about me.
However I am learning that too and it pays off, this project
I first started to panic last fall all throughout winter right into March .
The bottom branch didn't look good and lot of die off but its bouncing back .
I wasn't ready for full out Nebari work and I did it I removed 3/8 of an inch wide strip below the soil line and tourniquet below the removal of bark and cambium with a wire , the patience
is checking below the soil line to see if the wound produced roots and I should just look at the whole picture here and it tells me all I need to know , One: the lower branch is snapping out of it and growing and the rest of the tree is pushing lots of new growth around the whole tree.
I can just settle down and let this be for another season just to be sure and IF a set of new roots developed the eventual removal of the remaining tap root and lower feeder roots, doing this gives me a shorter tree with wider flair or fat base tree and allows for a shallow and smaller Bonsai pot .

Aftermath of Nebari work but in the time since work was done and all the heat and no rain I'm happy this was all the dieback that occurred and funny .. while on the same branch some dieback while good growth is also happening ..so this lower branch might survive , which i really want .
More from the back yard... This was our first live (and I mean still living) Xmas Tree... We planted it in the back yard ~20 years ago. It survived the ficus tree nearly landing on it.
This is Juniper the day before we had to euthanize her. She was sick every day of her life and had been struggling with some skin issues when she developed breathing problems. She was always a snuggler and we were always very close. Her favorite place to be was laying on my left breast under my shirt.
She had a cleft lip and was nearly blind. We actually got her to be Jasmine's friend, since Jasmine came into the house first, and they loved each other immensely. Jasmine was robust and large for a female rat and very healthy. Juniper was about half the size of a normal female rat. Once I saw Juniper pick Jasmine up by her front legs and body slam her when they were wrestling. Juniper was definitely the toughest cookie.
Callophrys gryneus
One of my all time favorite hairstreaks to find.

Juniper was found on a park trail by a young man who was fishing at the time.
She is the Wild Child of the shelter.
Juniper is an independent cat who is happiest on her own-stalking mice and exploring. A gorgeous cat she would be a fine addition to a house that wanted a cat who can keep themselves entertained.
Juniper has been with us since 7/24/2008.

One of the few berries I had not consumed while out and about working. I heard they're less flavorful than some of the other berries lying around
This Juniper Hairstreak was photographed in Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California on 6/17/2008.
The Utah junipers (Juniperus osteosperma) here were massive compared to the ones in Monument Valley; this was a medium-sized specimen. You can see how the trunk grows in a corkscrew pattern, which helps the tree survive lightning strikes. Grand Canyon National Park averages 26,073 lightning strikes annually, and the junipers, Mexican cliffrose, and ponderosa pine have all adapted to the frequent strikes by growing in a form that disperses the electricity. We saw similar forms in Monument Valley, another place that experiences frequent lightning strikes.
The wood of the juniper tree is very durable, particularly that of the Ashe juniper, which has traditionally been used for fence posts which can last hundreds of years, even after having been cut and sunk into the soil
Although a juniper tree has the potential for discouraging the growth of any plant material around its base, the potential is not "fool-proof".
Consider this instance in which a live oak has managed to penetrate the protective barrier of the juniper, and consume it!
