‘Robusta Green’, a columnar form of Chinese juniper Eastern red cedar is susceptible to the cedar-apple rust fungus. Fungal diseases, which may occur on juniper, are Phomopsis tip blight and Phytophthora root rot. Among the most serious pests are bagworms (foliage is stripped), twig borers (browning and dying branch tips), juniper scale (no new growth and yellowed foliage), and juniper webworm (webbing together and browning of the foliage). Junipers are subject to a number of pests and diseases. Determine the mature height and width of a juniper species before planting it. Balled and burlapped junipers are best planted in the fall. They tolerate adverse conditions and withstand heat and drought much better than most ornamentals.Ĭontainer-grown junipers can be planted year-round. They will grow in a variety of soils but do not like their roots to be in waterlogged soil.
