Clean Up A Blue Star Juniper 3 Months After Transplant (4K) - July 21, 2024

Cleaned up July 21, almost 3 months after transplant. Underside has plenty of dead foliage. slightly more tan norm but nothing to worry about. Blue green new growth indicates it has settled in already. 🤞🏻🤞🏻that this will survive despite the heat and drought.
Transplanted May 1:
Getting too tall for the Boxwood clouds, which I limbed up to show the trunk.
Transplant to fill the void left by a Hellebore in front of the Zebra Hydrangea.
This adds winter interest since my front yard is usually quite bare in the winter. Being a slow growing evergreen, Blue Stars look good year round. Another reason is to add some blue color foliage.

I’m glad you showed this. I need to do that to one of mine. She didn’t like being transplanted and browned quite a bit. Yours looks very nice and big. Thank you!❤

I was quite nervous last time when you mentioned that. Hope it can get through the winter. I think I planted it slightly too low. Got to remember to plant higher 😅😅

Love that Juniper..what do you think about growing in a container pot..

[@GardenNotes]

I grow many plants in containers. It does require more watering than in landscape. I think that is a good idea. The only thing is to make sure it is Hardy enough to get through your winter.
