Plant Care
Bar Harbor Juniper requires minimal maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. After establishment, reduce watering frequency as this plant is drought-tolerant. Prune in early spring to maintain desired shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. No fertilization is typically necessary, as this hardy plant thrives in poor soil conditions.
Planting Instructions
Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal to its depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, tamping down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
