| Description | Juniperus chinensis stricta is an evergreen tree with needle-like foliage and a compact conical form reminiscent of christmas trees! While temperate countries use fir, spruce and pine trees. Juniperus chinensis stricta does well under full sun with moderate water .Juniperus chinensis stricta is an evergreen conifer shrub growing up to 20 m tall; branches ascending with branchlets straight or slightly curved. Juniperus chinensis stricta prefer moist, well-drained soil, but they will adapt almost anywhere as long as they get plenty of sun. They tolerate drought better than excessively wet conditions. Keep the soil evenly moist until the plants become established. Once they begin to grow, they are practically carefree.You can reduce the maintenance even more by reading the mature plant measurements on the plant tag and choosing a variety that fits the space. They have a lovely natural shape and will not need pruning unless crowded into a space that is too small. They don’t look as nice when pruned and won’t tolerate severe pruning. |
