Blue Point Juniper | Juniperus chinensis | Evergreen Conifer 

Love the blue chip and it’s soft texture. Thanks for watching. YC

Blue arrow and blue point are different?

@@tipsreviews7476 roughly the same height give or take a foot or two but blue arrow are much narrower around 2 to 3 feet wide and blue point around 6 to 8 feet wide.

@@schaeferlawncarepropertyma4898 wow thanks .

And useful. Thx for the comment.

What kind of soil are they thriving in? HH and thx for the comment.

Hey Daniel, thanks for the question. Can you plant them this time of year, yes you can. Is it the most optimal time of year to plant them, no it is not. Your prime time of year to plant any plant in your region and many other regions is in the late Fall. However, if you've found it on sale somewhere, you can always purchase and acclimate them to the site, then plant later this Fall. YC

Hey Pete. Not sure what soil conditions you have but I can kinda guess. Use a 50/50 mix of native soil and acidic soil amendment. Probably bagged in your area. Organic starter fertilizer. Keep moist but not soggy. Good luck.

Don’t get wrapped up in times per week or minutes. Check the planting hole for moisture. If it is wet on the surface and down an inch or so don’t water. Learn your soil and how it does or does not retain water. Judge your watering accordingly. Thx for the Q. Coach.

They do have some berries but I don’t know about consumable attributes. I say NO at this point.

Depends on the soil conditions. Like most junipers, deep infrequent watering will create a deeper root system. Shallow sprinklers,shallower roots..

That should work.

@@YardCoach thanks and great content as well. In a field of horticultural specialties and experience. You def are the sun/star in the solar system of content on this platform. Confidence is key and knowledge is crucial. Especially when laying out the math. Thanks you again for solid content and advice.

One more question and advice as a fertilizer? 11-3-4 as n-p-k ? Will that be a good ratio as a slow release or any recommendations. This is in Georgia yet the medium will be peat and coco coir mix 75% and 25% red clay. Adding mycorrhizae and other beneficials to get roots structure going. Ph 5.8 when I’m watering and 15ppm. I know most don’t consider this factor yet I want no issues with lock outs due to excess or deficiencies. I’m all about key ranges and parameters one must be within in horticulture.

@getblasted5052 sounds like you got it dialed. Almost all organic ferts will be somewhat slow release. Your ratios will be fine.

@@YardCoach thanks for the fast response and guidance. Your correct like yourself any application or skill set math is key. Yet knowledge from a seasoned professional such as yourself gives my brain the confidence and format needed. So thanks again, keep up the great content . Happy growing as well.

If the plants are happy where they were planted and the soil they are in, then yes, they can do 12-24” a year.

@@YardCoach Thanks was looking at pics some say 2.5 ft .apart .but I went 3 ft. not many in so cal have just did not want to Itlian Cyp too big ..lol its not a castle

@@Frank020 Just bought some blue point junipers for a privacy screen. So how are yours doing with 3' spacing? Excited to plant mine this weekend. BTW italian cypress are beautiful and I so wish I could plant a few as a how piece, but they would not survive in zone 6! :(

@@seemas5811 yeas I did 3ft. But if you Google it for hedge they call for less. I tried to imagine it seeing pictures of some 10 footers. I bought a some small baby sized ones. I could plant Italian, but here they grow fast and it is daunting to see 40 - 60 ft beasts. My yard is quite small. Lol.

@@seemas5811 I read 2.5 ft ..but full grown seems close. So I went 3. On some I went 2.75. Mine are skyrocket juniper so maybe slightly bushier. If they succeed. I hope they take off first spring they are same size still.
