Moffat Blue Juniper
Moffat Blue Juniper
Juniperus scopulorum
Best suited for dryer soils and sunny areas. It is drought tolerant when established, and can be planted in groups for privacy screening.
Moffat Blue Juniper is a relatively low maintenance shrub with tolerance for poor soil, heat and drought once established. It requires a full sun location and well drained soil.
Water twice a week, deeply, for the first season. Never over water your juniper. If the soil looks at all wet, reduce the amount and/or frequency of watering.
Be sure to continue your watering till a hard freeze. As junipers and other evergreens do not drop their leaves, they continue to transpire and must absorb enough moisture to support this process before the ground freezes.
In subsequent years, your juniper should only require watering during drought conditions.
If pruning is required to maintain the shape of your shrub, late winter is the best time to do it.
