a pencil juniper that has become loose and moveable in the soil

Question

how do I remedy this situation….how do I firm the tree in its growing position…the tree was planted in 2003

Answer 1

You will likely need to remove the plant and dig out the planting area and make some amendments to the soil.

You may want to have a qualified Arborist examine the tree and make these growing adjustments.
