Juniperus species

juniper

Trees and Shrubs, Herbs, Bonsai

Soak 24 hours and surface-sow seed; optionally stratify 6 weeks, though usually not needed. Needs light and cooler temperatures to germinate. Root cuttings using the strongest rooting hormone, take cuttings throughout growing season but ideally fresh tips in the new year. Ring-bark in early spring, for quick to slow results. Used as bonsai. Likes sandy, well-drained soil, tolerates alkaline soil well, grow in sunny spot

Some species, including Juniperus communis and Juniperus horizontalis, creeping juniper, do well in drier settings; the latter especially thrives under adverse conditions. Many hardy to zone 2
