Re: Eastern red cedar
Hi, sorry to say but this juniper looks dead. If it has any life in it, water it only when is goes almost dry and not before, then wait and repeat. Youtube is a great source of free bonsai information but first you should learn the basics about plants. Bonsai are nothing but ordinary plants.

Re: Eastern red cedar
Thanks for the advice I dont think it is dead they all look this way in the ditch every year in the winter it has new green needles coming on but time will tell I just thought I would try them out and see what happens there are thousands of them to pick from so if it doesnt survive I'll try again thanks again

Re: Eastern red cedar
I forgot to mention it's a cedar tree that's been growing in the ditch and been mowed off every summer

Not a Cedar, it's a Juniper.
Not a Cedar but a Juniper. And they do go RED in the winter during the cold. But will grow back Green next Spring, I'd say let it go for now and give it a try. No money spent here just time.

Dead. But that makes this your lucky day. This is one of the very hardest to make into bonsai. The first step, -collecting without killing it is The Most Difficult step. It has to be done at the beginning of the peak growing season and over-potted to save the most roots. That makes collecting on the rebound in fall the worst time & way to try. That gives you an 0 for 4 start. If you were really good, you'd fail. Sorry, but I do speak from experience.

Balt,
I have had success with ERCs, I'd give it a waiting time until spring to see if it has survived. Check the green growth and see if it's brittle.
Keep us posted!
Best of luck!

Re: Eastern red cedar
I've successfully collected these, one was a nice big interesting specimen. I had it for years, in training. Unfortunately it had or contracted root rot (a specific fungus). I had root rot mushrooms and all. I repotted to try to get rid of the fungus, but eventually the tree succumbed.. I had a smaller on that died, possibly from the same malady.
