Pruning for a Skyrocket juniper should take place in the early spring.
After successful pollination, a Skyrocket juniper that has female flowers will produce small juniper berries. These flowers mainly rely on the wind to conduct pollination. In either case, the flowers of a Skyrocket juniper will bloom in spring. In other words, some junipers may hold both male and female flowers, while others may have one or the other. One of the more interesting botanical facts about juniper plants is that they can be either monoecious or dioecious. The best fertilizers to use are higher in nitrogen and can lower the overall soil pH. Fertilization should occur during the early spring with the option of an additional feeding in the fall. Once the plant is established, you can water it weekly or less during the growing season, as mature versions of this plant show some drought-tolerance.
Watering and nutrientsĪfter planting a Skyrocket juniper, you can plan to water it about once per week or more until it has become established. Its narrow form makes it unlikely it will begin to overcrowd your planting beds. You also won’t need to worry too much about spacing this plant. As long as the soil is on the acidic side and the area you choose receives full or partial sunlight, this plant should adapt well and begin growing quickly.
