Chinese Juniper

Light

Full sun. Part shade makes it sparse.

Water

Weekly the first summer, then only in drought.

Planting and soil

Spring or fall, at pot depth.

Feeding

None usually needed.

Pruning

Trim branch tips in spring if needed. Never cut into bare wood.

Through the year

New growth in spring. Green through summer and winter.

If something's off

Wet soil causes root rot. Bagworms in summer; pick off the bags.

A fountain of evergreen.

Arching branches with soft, deep green foliage that holds its color through winter. It fills a space with a relaxed vase shape and asks for very little.

Why we stock it: Year-round structure for the foundation or a low screen, with almost no upkeep.
