Planting

Prepare the planting area by ensuring that the soil is well-draining. This will promote healthy root growth for the 'Blue Star' juniper. Use sandy or loamy soil for best results. Loosen the soil in the area, and if it is heavy clay or poorly draining, amend it with organic matter such as compost. Carefully remove the plant from its container and place it in the center of a hole that is only slightly wider and not deeper than the root ball. Fill in the hole with the excavated soil, gently firming it around the roots to avoid air pockets. Water the plant thoroughly after planting to help the soil settle.
