Well, I'll see how it goes in the next couple weeks. There are a bunch of tiny leaf sprouts, but they seem to not want to pop. I do like the thought of separating them until they are stronger, but I'll have to wait a couple years probably before I give that a go. I didn't prune the roots too heavily as I was going to a larger pot than the training pot, so hopefully the recovery time isn't too hefty.
I wish I had a bit more of a budget to experiment more, but unfortunately I don't at this point and kinda want to make the most of what I have, hence the shock of the sight of the losing leaves. I had a dwarf black olive and a juniper not make it through the winter inside... bummer. Welp, lets see what happens.
Thank you for the input. I'll update as the viewable changes happen.

No problem, like I said, just if you had some in hand, I don't think it needs, it will put new growth soon, so no need to invest more.
About separating them you can do it on next growing season or the second one, BRTs have a vigorous root growth, but since you have this specific climate, I don't know how much it will root on that substrate, next year you can untie and see how are roots doing....
Take this time to learn about, to be used about the care, etc...
About your Juniper, they generally don't need to go inside on winter, unless you have a extremelly cold winter... Take a look about this tolerance and about your winter temperatures, but I think MA it would be ok for Junipers to stay out all year around.

Your juniper died indoors just as every juniper do. Outdoors it would have survived.

I mistyped, the juniper was outdoors during the winter. I think the roots got frozen solid with the snow melt and then refreeze. I didn't have it in a great spot I don't think. I'll try another juniper at another time. It was very cute though, shohin.

Shohin is obviously more sensitive. The wetness in combination with the cold is more of a problem than the cold itself. Where I live we have very wet winters and I keep my trees protected from rain. Never lost a juniper in pot, but a few in ground.
