Spot Treating. Weeds in blue rug juniper can also be managed with spot treatments of imazaquin herbicides. This method is easiest when only a few weeds exist. Use a backpack or handheld sprayer filled with a solution of 3/4 teaspoon of herbicide and 1/2 teaspoon of surfactant in 1 gallon of water.

How do you get rid of grass in junipers?

Do junipers kill other plants?

Junipers are evergreen trees or shrubs of more than 40 species that are widely used as landscape plants. Certain trees and shrubs — including junipers — secrete a toxin into the soil called allelopathy that kills nearby plants.

Do junipers have invasive roots?

The creeping juniper plant has an extensive and shallow root system, with larger roots coming from the plant’s center and many smaller roots developing as the plant grows. Older plants can develop large, horizontally spreading roots up to 1 inch in diameter that may extend 10 feet or more from the plant’s center.

Do Moonglow junipers have invasive roots?

How long will junipers live?

350 to 700 years

Do junipers transplant well?

Juniper trees are evergreens with a long taproot. To successfully transplant wild juniper trees, you must keep this taproot intact. The small trees also send out horizontal roots, but it is not fatal for the tree if these are cut during the transplant process. Junipers require full light and a well-drained soil.

Can you over water junipers?

Because they do not like constantly soggy or wet soil, avoid overwatering junipers or planting them in a poorly drained soil that stays constantly soggy or wet. More often than not, this causes soggy soil conditions that can lead to root rot and other harmful plant diseases.

How do you transplant mature junipers?

How to Transplant Spreading Junipers

1. Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the transplant’s root ball in an area with full sun exposure and good-draining soil.
2. Tilt the spreading juniper onto its side and remove the root ball from the container.
3. Place the spreading juniper root ball into the hole.

How do you divide a creeping juniper?

Make 1- to 2-inch slits through the outer layer on each side of the bared stem with a sharp knife. This allows the juniper branch to absorb more water and hormone for root growth. Place about 1 teaspoon of rooting hormone in a dish. Dip the end of the juniper cutting in the hormone and roll the bare end in it.

How do you keep weeds out of junipers?

This disease can also cause foliage on infected branches to turn yellow or brown and wilt. According the UC, IPM site: “A canker is a localized dead (necrotic) area on branches, trunks or roots.

What is the best fertilizer for junipers?

Incorporate fertilizer into the soil or spread it around the plant, but avoid directly placing fertilizer into the planting hole. Established junipers will benefit from a complete fertilizer such as 16-4-8 or 12-4-8 applied at a rate of 1/2 lb. per 100 square feet in early spring and again in late summer.
