#ProPlantTips for Care:
Junipers grow easily throughout any full-sun garden setting and well-drained soil location! Provide new plants with regular water and Nature Hills Root Booster at the time of planting for the best start!
This Juniper is very hardy in the face of strong wind and displays great drought tolerance once established. All evergreens appreciate regular watering before winter to help prevent winter windburn. It is best to prune while the plants are fairly young to help increase branching habits and develop even better foliage density.
