creeping juniper


Question
How do you propergate creeping juniper. What time of the year do you take cuttings,how big a piece,what do you plant it into(mixture)etc. I have a 110meter long wall that I want to cover with juniper.Thank you, Loraine.

Answer
Hi Lorraine,
Thanx for your question.  Creeping junipers can be propagated by cuttings.

Cuttings from all varieties are considered easy to root. Take 8-inch-long cuttings and remove the needles from the lower 2 inches.

Dip in a rooting hormone such as Rootone (don't overdo it, though) and stick the cuttings in a rooting mix or in prepared beds.

Late summer or early fall is the time to take cuttings. Most cuttings will root.

I hope this helps.
Tom
