Blue Alps Juniper: June 2024 repairs

I get some pretty windy days and nights. After one such night, during my morning watering I found this:

Michael never puts his pots in a pot at home.

Apparently the winds had decided that this particular plant didn’t get bench rights. Or rather, it caught the wind enough to get blown overboard, and I guess the trunk hit the larger pot, tipping the juniper upright.

Casualties!

Being morning before work, I took a quick check… it seems solid enough. So this became a weekend problem.

That’s a break.
This edge is cracked.
And so is this one.

Being the middle of winter, I didn’t really want to repot the tree. And despite the cracks, the pot felt sturdy enough. Honestly, I suspect the soil is solid enough that it’s holding the pot in place, not the other way around. So, I decided this could be punted down the road and made a spring problem.
