About this product

The mature shrub reaches about 60-100 cm in height and 1.5-2 m in spread. Hardy (USDA 4-7) and drought tolerant once established. Supplied in a 20 cm pot.

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant the juniper in spring or autumn in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and space plants at least 1 m apart.
Care. Care is simple: no regular pruning is needed. Remove only dead branches and mulch with bark to suppress weeds.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly in the first year, later only in drought. Feed in spring with a slow-release conifer fertiliser, avoiding excess nitrogen.
Winter and pruning. Hardy and needs no cover. In snowy winters shake heavy snow off the branches to prevent breakage.
