(Juniperus horozontalis)
Description : Junipers are hardy, non-flowering, evergreen
conifers with many varieties that are easy to grow, prune and train.
They are a rewarding family with responsive, fairly rapid growth. Creeping Junipers - as this one is - have long, trailing branches with blue-green cast. Age : Created in 1986 Style : Informal Upright Techniques Used : Pruning 4-5 years ago which defined branch structure and removed unwanted and obtrusive branches. Tree underwent substantial amount of wiring in the years ahead. Other Comments : Fertilise in early spring. Pinch out the tips of new buds any time during the growth period. Only conduct major pruning during the spring or autumn/fall, but not in summer. One caution - wear gloves when working with junipers, for the prick of the needles can produce an allergic reaction that causes an itchy red rash which can be very irritating.
