Golden Juniper Ornamental Plant With Pot

Description Juniper shrubs (Juniperus) provide the landscape with well defined structure and a fresh fragrance that few other shrubs can match. The care of juniper shrubbery is easy because they never need pruning to maintain their attractive shape and tolerate adverse conditions without complaint. Anyone interested in providing habitat for wildlife should consider growing junipers. The National Wildlife Federation counts juniper shrubs as one of the top 10 plants for wildlife because they provide an abundance of food, shelter from harsh weather, and nesting sites for birds.   Product Delivery Information: The image displayed is indicative in nature.

As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Juniper in a well-drained site.   Light: Juniper trees prefer as much sun as you can give them. At least 6 to 7 hours of direct sunlight per day is suggested.   Fertilizer: Fertilize the juniper annually in early spring with a complete, slow-release fertilizer with a formulation such as 12-4-8 or 16-4-8. Spread the fertilizer evenly around the juniper at a rate of 1/2 pound per 100 square feet just before it rains or water it thoroughly after applying the fertilizer.   Water: Water the juniper shrub in thoroughly at the time of planting and twice weekly for a month following planting. Decrease the frequency of watering so that you only irrigate the juniper once every week or two during periods of extended drought. Junipers are more likely to suffer from overwatering or diseases encouraged by excessive moisture than drought stress.
