Dunno about bark scrubbing, I've not tried it on mine.

By heavily pinching juvenile needle like growth you can eventually
encourage it to mostly produce mature scale like growth.

Subject: [IBC] San Jose Juniper questions

I'm new to San Jose junipers, so I have a few questions.

Is scrubbing the bark for the red color recommended on this tree? Any
disadvantages?

I assume that the new buds are pinched like any other juniper,
correct?

Any other issues with this species that I should be aware of?
