At first glance I thought, Juniper, got to be root aphids.

Yes, looks like mycorrhizae. Lucky you, healthy roots.
Even if it has root aphid it’s not the end of the world unless the tree makes a turn for the worst. I am learning how to just live with root aphids and not get too stressed.

Thank you!
