WATERING & SUNLIGHT

PLANT CARE & PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

PRUNING:
Trim Sea Green Juniper in late winter or early spring to remove irregular or elongated branches and maintain its arching shape. Avoid shearing.

FERTILIZING:
Apply a general-purpose fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

WINTER PROTECTION:
Sea Green Juniper is generally winter-hardy, but in colder zones, adding a windbreak or light mulch can help protect it during extreme cold.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Select a location with well-draining soil and full sun exposure. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but just as deep. Remove the juniper from its container, gently loosen the roots, and place it in the hole. Ensure that the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Backfill the hole with the soil, patting down firmly to remove any air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting. Spread a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remember to water regularly during its first growing season to establish a deep root system.

At Simply Trees, we're committed to your satisfaction. If your plants arrive considerably damaged or sustained damage beyond the point of recovery, please contact us within five days at sales@simplytrees.com with clear photos of the entire plant in question for assistance.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
