This Juniper tree will enjoy being pruned in early spring and may reach a height of 2 metres in 5-10 years, if allowed to grow naturally.

Symbolism
In ancient mythology the Juniper tree symbolises good fortune and protection.
Tree Care
Your Juniper tree is growing in its organic pot filled with top-notch compost, so no green fingers are required, just add natural daylight and water. It is important to place your tree outside straightaway. This is its natural environment even in the chilliest winter. Juniper trees can tolerate temperatures a slow as -20C. Your tree's compost has been enriched with a blend of 100% organic nutrients to create the perfect balance of nourishment so your tree continues to flourish in its new garden.
Plant your tree (still in its organic pot so the roots are not disturbed) in an outdoor flower pot, one 15-20cm wide and with holes so excess water can drain away. It may also be planted in a sunny spot in any garden.
The Present Tree's Organic Plant Care Kit is packed with all the health-boosting goodness suitable for your Juniper tree. Click here for more details.
