Feb 4, 2021 · This is Juniperus communis?The Vancouver Trees App - UBC Botanical Garden doesn't say anything about the smell of Juniperus communis, but for J. maritima it says, "The smell of the bruised leaves and cut stems of this species (and the related J. scopulorum) is camphor-like with strong oregano and dirty socks overtones, and many people find the aroma …

Feb 25, 2020 · Have had this juniper tree for quite awhile (#1). It started off great, but it got spider mites over the summer (I could tell it had them, by dusting the leaves, and some web). I treated the tree with Neem oil, and also an insecticide on several occasions. The spider mites are gone. However, winter came and the tree browned out.

Dec 2, 2008 · Juniper-hawthorn rust Juniper-hawthorn rust is a fungal disease that requires a juniper and an alternate host to complete its lifecycle. Alternate hosts are apple, crabapple, hawthorn and mountain ash. On a juniper, two-inch ball-shaped galls develop on stems from spores blown in from the alternate host.

Nov 18, 2008 · Hollowing out the center of the top of a 40' conifer and leaving most of the outside still in place is a facade, like clear-cutting all of a forest except the part that faces the highway. To the tree it will be the same as if the top broke out in a storm.

May 7, 2007 · Both may be prone to twig dieback or browning out in patches in this region. Some specimens show this to a bothersome degree, and some do not, but it is certainly not unusual (so-called spiny Greek juniper (of gardens), actually a compact form of Chinese juniper is terrible here, most older specimens with partly dead foliage).

Sep 28, 2006 · Wish I knew this years ago, but I'll never again plant a deciduous tree ABOVE/NEAR a juniper. This won't help your situation Debra, but I'll now always plant evergreen ABOVE a deciduous plant. Annual needledrop won't be too unsightly and, as needles break down in the soil, will help the pH of deciduous plants in our slightly-alkaline 6.8 soil.

Jun 30, 2006 · On slopes, many have found the "ground-hugging" juniper varieties work well at preventing errosion. I think if you mix in a variety of tall, medium, and low-growing trees and bushes, you can make an attractive presentation and control errosion effectively.

Oct 5, 2009 · Solution? They dug out and burned down ALL juniper bushes in the area. Result? The rust went away and the Pear Trees were saved. Who knows? I do have the same exact problem per your pictures in particular. The tree is next to several Apple trees as well, which ocasionally get a few spots, but they look nothing close to what the Pear tree gets.

Oct 27, 2018 · Apparently, some junipers sold as Juniper bonsai trees have already been wired in such a way as to train their branches. I have never tried to bonsai anything . . . it seems cruel to me in the same way as binding Japanese girls' feet was in bygone days . . . but I've attended many lectures and read many articles - enough to realize that bona ...

Jul 11, 2004 · I'm not very confident that it was a Juniper. Apparently all kinds of red cedar have similar berries. Unfortunately this will have to wait until later. I won't get back to Ka-Ne-Ta to take pics for awhile. If anyone happens to be there though, this tree was near the little tee-pee in the Salmon bake area at the resort on the hill. Later..
