Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun. Tolerates a wide range of growing conditions. Avoid wet soil. Little pruning may be necessary but they can be pruned in late winter - early spring when the coldest weather has passed. Avoid cutting into old, bare wood past green growth. Mulching is beneficial.

Genus Overview: Juniperus
Common Name: Juniper
Dense, upright and bushy or low-growing growth habit. Evergreen foliage is green or gold and needle-like. Inconspicuous male pollen cones open in spring. Female berry-like seed cones emerge yellow to green and take 2 to 3 years to ripen to dark blue-black. Great for edging pathways, creating privacy screens, in borders and as a focal point.
