Best Soil for Junipers

Create the perfect foundation for thriving junipers! These resilient shrubs flourish in well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). For heavy clay soils, mix in sand or organic matter to boost drainage and prevent root rot. While junipers can tolerate tough conditions, they grow best in fertile, loose soil that allows their roots to breathe and absorb nutrients effortlessly. A little soil preparation goes a long way in keeping your junipers lush and healthy!
