Growing & Maintenance Tips for Juniperus scopulorum Moffat Blue
Plant your evergreen in spring or early fall, ensuring enough space for root and branch growth. Water weekly for the first two years to establish deep roots. Fertilize every 2-3 years in early spring, following package directions to avoid over-fertilizing. Prune dead branches close to the main trunk and shape by cutting at a slight angle.
