Parson's Juniper Care

Be sure to choose the best location for your Parson's Juniper. As long as you avoid extreme temperatures you can plant your Juniper almost any time of the year.

This juniper does best in full to part sun and adapts to any soil that is well drained. They do like a neutral to acidic soil so if you know you have an alkaline soil choose an acidic fertilizer (most fertilizers for evergreens are acidic). Junipers are great "street shrubs" as they tolerate pollution and salt well. After planting, adding a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch will help keep the soil moist and protect the lower branches from fungal issues. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as this increases the chances of pests and disease. Water your Juniper deeply a couple times a week for the first month or two. After your plants are established, they only need watered during hot, dry spells. Junipers are drought tolerant after establishing and even more so after being in the ground about two years.

Junipers are extremely hardy and versatile. When properly cared for, they rarely have issues with pests and disease. The Parson's Juniper is pest and disease resistant and deer tolerant.
