Rocky mountain juniper, also known as Rocky mountain red cedar, River juniper, Colorado red cedar, Western juniper, Mountain red cedar
Rocky mountain juniper is a hardy conifer, generally known for its ease of care. Key to its success is ensuring full sun exposure and excellent drainage, as it thrives in dry, well-draining soils and has low water requirements once established. Special attention should be paid to spacing, as rocky mountain juniper needs ample room for air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Pruning is minimal, only to maintain desired shape or remove dead foliage.
