Growing Tips for Juniperus communis ''Effusa''
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires little maintenance. Water regularly during the first growing season, then only during extended dry periods. Minimal pruning needed—trim lightly in early spring if desired. Fertilize sparingly in spring if growth is weak.
