Rocky Mt juniper question
I would like to put in some Rocky MT juniper trees. Anybody know anything
about these trees, and the best way to plant them? Rocky Mountain juniper, Juniperus scopulorum, is a very tough species. It will appreciate full sun. Standard recommendations for planting & establishing garden conifers should be satisfactory. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train." Robert Lowell (1917-1977) |

While Tom's response was a little facetious, it was perfectly reasonable in response to an extremely vague question: 1) Why do you think you want to plant Rocky Mt junipers if you know nothing about them? 2) There are dozens of cultivars of this plant - any one in specific? 3) Have you done any investigation on the adviseability of this plant for your situation other than asking here? Done any research? A search on google? 4) Any reason you think planting these plants would be any different from planting anything else? The more specific you are in your request, the better the responses will be. |

| Hold on - no need to get futzy. I wasn't getting 'futzy" - I asked a question and got a trollish answer. | 1) Why do you think you want to plant Rocky Mt junipers if you know | nothing about them? Becasue I like the way they look and I know they thrive in the general area in which I want to plant them. | 2) There are dozens of cultivars of this plant - any one in specific? Tha'ts why I'm asking. | 3) Have you done any investigation on the adviseability of this plant | for your situation other than asking here? Done any research? A search | on google? They grow naturally around here. | 4) Any reason you think planting these plants would be any different | from planting anything else? Yes, we are in a drought and common sense argues against planting the usual stuff stocked in landscape nurseries. | The more specific you are in your request, the better the responses will | be.

Rocky Mt juniper question
Okay - here ya go - read up:
http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/junsco/ http://www.botanik.uni-bonn.de/conif...scopulorum.htm http://www.csu.org/cgi-bin/xeri/Xeri...detail?PIS-jss http://www.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/modzz/00000807.html http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/shrub/jusc2.htm http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/trees/JUNSCOA.pdf 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. pam - gardengal January85 wrote: | Hold on - no need to get futzy.

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. But for more complete instructions, visit the consumer info link in my sig line. The most common problem in transplanted trees (assuming proper watering intervals) is they get planted too deeply. If you buy a containerized plant, it's probably already too deep because of multiple repottings. Scrape away soil till you can see the root flares at the base of the tree, and plant high enough to make sure they are still visible. k For more info about the International Society of Arboriculture, please visit http://www2.champaign.isa-arbor.com/.
