Guess what kind of juniper this is?

Post by Edward Scissorhand »

Hello guys and gals, I bought a cheap camera yesterday and thought Id post a few pics of my tall lanky juniper. The folliage naturally weeps and it looks like a weeping willow from a distance

Do you have a pic of your conifer? Did you follow the recommended amount on the fertilizer packets?
