and there are about 5000 more sites available. You may notice that none
address planting specifically. That is because instructions for planting
this tree/shrub are the same as for any other - dig a hole, place in plant
(green side up!) and water well to get established.

Junipers, including this one and its assorted several dozen cultivars, are
as common as dirt and don't require any specific care other than a full sun
location and watering to get established (at least two years). Once
established, they are drought tolerant, but so are a good many other, more
desireable plants commonly sold at any nursery.

I wasn't getting 'futzy" - I asked a question and got a trollish answer.

Becasue I like the way they look and I know they thrive in the general
area in which I want to plant them.

Tha'ts why I'm asking.

They grow naturally around here.

Yes, we are in a drought and common sense argues against planting the
usual stuff stocked in landscape nurseries.

I'll repeat the initial post: I have a yard to landscape and I would
like to put in some Rocky MT juniper trees. Anybody know anything about
these trees, and the best way to plant them?
