Any experience with blue point junipers?
Comments (27)Love these comments on Junipers! I have two (not sure what type, dark green w/cone pointed top), approx 19 years old from original home owner plant. They are nice and evergreen, but one has had bagworm problems twice. Knowing nothing about them & reason it started turning brown at the top and partial center, I sought neighbors advise. I learned that the brown dead branches can be cut-out/pruned, remove bagworms on remaining branches, then pull remaining parts together w/rubber band or whatever, and it will regrow back to a full healthy juniper in 2-3 years or so with a little watering/fertilizing ever now & then! I didn't really expect this would work, but reasoned what did I have to lose, was considering cutting the eyesore down anyway! I was shocked when it recovered/started regrowing /was able to remove bands!! These scrubs are very drought tolerant/durable in my hot Texas area, and I even transplanted one several years ago. Have had no problem pruning them, which seems to stimulate growth, if I didn't prune them they would get enormous!! So don't believe everything you read about there's No Hope, when they start turning brown from bag worms or whatever!!...See MoreBlue Point Juniper, how deep are roots?
Comments (13)when thinking of a multiple thousand dollar new septic drain field.. i surely wouldnt take long for me to cut a 10 dollar plant flush to the ground.. and walk away ... what is your base soil type??? besides the fact.. that you seem to have planted a monoculture.. and when the next juniper plague comes along.. you have the potential to lose them all ... get rid of them.. i know it.. you know it.. there really isnt any real drama involved ... if you plant on coming back often ... add your location on your member's page ... btw.. if you are in snow load area.. sooner or later.. these can run across a bad winter ... and they can splay ... ken https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Blue+Point+Juniper&t=ffcm&ia=web look closely and see how big some of them are https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Blue+Point+Juniper&t=ffcm&iax=1&ia=images...See MoreBlue Point Juniper as privacy wall ?
