Growing Preferences

Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the tree upright, backfill halfway, water thoroughly, then finish filling and water again. For privacy screens or hedges, space Blue Arrow Junipers 2–3 feet apart to form a dense living wall. Finish by applying a 2–3 inch mulch layer around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. This helps conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature as the tree establishes.
