How to revive a dead 51cg was created by Auk

I see this question often on this forum:
How can I save my dying 51cg. Often such posts are accompanied by a picture of a tree that is practically dead, very dead or even dead for weeks.

This was one of my junipers. It was doing well but got problems and died quickly. How to revive such a tree? I did not want to just throw it away...

- clean the tree
-, paint the trunk
-treat the deadwood with lime Sulphur
-buy a couple of tillandsias (fascinating plants that have no real roots and live on air and sunlight)
-glue them on to the trunk

And there it is. A revived 51cg!
