Fertilize before new growth begins in spring. |
| History | Juniper scopulorum, commonly called Colorado red cedar or Western redcedar, is native to the Rocky Mountains and highly valued for its vigor, cold hardiness, and resistance to disease and pests. Its range extends from the mountains of Alberta, Canada to Texas, and British Columbia south to Arizona. In the Rockies, it is typically found in dry, rocky, foothills above 5000 feet in elevation. Similar in appearance to eastern red cedar (J. virginiana), it may hybridize with it if grown in the same area. |
