Juniperus scopulorum 'Moonglow'
Overall Description
A dense
conical pyramidal juniper with intense bluish-gray-green foliage. Color
so intense it almost glows - one of our favorites!!! Excellent as an
accent plant, or planted as a screen or fence border. Holds good color
through the winter with very, very minimal bronzing. Does especially well in the plains states of the midwest, as well as in the Rocky Mountain regions.

have some trouble in dealing with high heat & humidity, as well as
high nightime temperatures of the southeast.
Fertilization / Feeding: Either
water soluble ( Miracle Gro, or equivalent ), or granular ( Holly Tone
is excellent ). Other granular types with 6-12-12, or 10-10-10 ratio is
acceptable. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall -
avoid feeding during hot summer months, and directly after
transplanting.
