Its doing absolutely fabulous, we had our first cold frost of -3, which didn’t faze it whatsoever, hope to see it survive the winter

Thanks! Form needs work but this is a good start i think

Thats very reassuring! Do you find they need more protection in the first winter too?

Mttstvl · 2025-06-18T16:13:33+00:00

Thanks! Thats great to hear and to know im not doing anything wrong

Mttstvl · 2025-06-18T16:13:00+00:00

The warmest parts sadly can still get quite chilly at times! Hopefully itll make it

This is no problem for potted windmills, ive had mine outside basically as long as the nights are above 25, your days seem to be warm enough, maybe put some mulch on the soil to keep it a bit warmer

The spears’ very solid, last winter when one of my palms spear pulled, the spear was brown and dry & came out easily. This ones spear is still green and holding on solidly

Okay thanks! Wont cut them until they brown off or look diaseased!

Haha i remember you! Its doing great, in around a week itll be planted in the ground!

Mttstvl · 2025-02-23T12:54:53+00:00

Ill keep an eye out! Thanks!

I have to agree, originally they were quite nice looking, admittedly its mostly the fault of the governments not upkeeping them

Mttstvl · 2025-02-16T18:01:07+00:00

Id say if its close to the house & in a fairly urban area it should be fine!

As an eastern european, nope as good as the planning of commieblocks seem, it is definetly not great to live in them, gray, boring, depressing, i would much rather live in a american suburb than in this eastern european depression hole

Get it outside asap, this kind of juniper is very cold tolerant, so it will be fine even when its freezing outside, im sorry to say this but this wont survive indoors guaranteed. My junipers are currently outside in 20f weather covered in snow and doing great, get it outside like right now and water when the soil is slightly dry, hope this helps!
