Plant in an area where it can receive full sunlight (between 6-8 hours per day) in adaptable, well-drained soil. Once you've planted the tree, it's recommended to add a layer of mulch approximately 1-2" thick. This will help keep the soil moist, reduce the growth of weeds, and reduce the amount of hand watering needed. However, it's important to keep the mulch from touching the trunk of the tree. Make sure to pull it back an inch or so away from the trunk. 2. Watering: Water your Juniper deeply two to three times per week for the first month or two. Afterward, only water during drought and extreme heat. 3. Fertilizing: Fertilize when planting and yearly in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer. Junipers do like neutral to acidic soil, so if you know you have alkaline soil, choose an acidic fertilizer (most fertilizers for evergreens are acidic). Junipers are great "street shrubs" as they tolerate pollution and salt well. 4. Pruning: Once plants mature, thin them out by pruning them just a little bit to allow air circulation.
