I got a tree as a gift. The needles look like a young juniperus chinensis, like in this wikipedia entry .
But I can't be sure, since the end of the branches does not look like the entry)))

I want to start working on it, since it's pot bound for a long time, but I want to know its schedule, when to repot, when to prune, when to wire.
I can't read about it since I don't know what it is.

The tree is from Germany.
If you can tell me anything about the tree apart from what it is (approx. age), please let me know I'll be very grateful for it!

Best,

P.S. awesome site)

iI'm quite sure that it's a Juniperus Squamata. It's not the most easiest species of the Juniperus. Also not the most beautiful one.. the older leaves are getting brown quite easy when they don't get enough light.

I agree it's certainly not a Chinensis, but probably a Squamata. However, I disagree that Squamata's cannot be beautiful. Mine was looking pretty good (see avatar). Removing the older needles does require a lot of maintenance, that's true.

@Clicio, thank you for the link, I read before, but you're right, since it's a juniper the guide applies.
@marco, nice, knowing the specific species always gives me a bit more of confidence to work on them and finding info.
@Auk, yes, there are a lot of brown needles, and they are very sharp too.

Advice from a newbie, so pls free to insult:cheer: ... if I look at the second picture... could the big trunk going up to the left be a good candidate for a Literati?
