Andrew Legg wrote:Mike, not related to the tree directly (which I think is headed in the right direction), but as many people interested in junipers will no doubt read this, a little tip I learnt. The foliage of junipers can be pretty prickly and irritating on the hands. If you wear surgical gloves, this avoids this problem. Just thought I would toss that in here for the hell of it. :yes:
Thanks Andrew. My hands are close to rhinoceros hide so I don't bother so much about the needles. Another tip is to spray with water before you work. This softens the very tip of the needle but you have to put up with working wet.
