Juniperus chinensis 'Pyramidalis' care tips

Caring for Juniperus chinensis 'Pyramidalis' is straightforward and ensures it maintains its elegant form. Little pruning is required, though occasional trimming can help refine its shape if desired. A slow release fertiliser applied in spring will support healthy growth and strong foliage colour. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
