Growth environment of juniper:

It prefers light, is more tolerant of shade, and likes a cool, warm climate and moist soil. Afforestation can be used in well-drained mountainous areas below 500 meters above sea level in North China and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and below 1,000 meters above sea level in the middle and upper reaches. Avoid water accumulation, resistant to pruning, and easy to shape. It is cold-resistant and heat-resistant, has no strict soil requirements, can grow on acidic, neutral and calcareous soils, and has certain resistance to soil drought and moisture.

But it grows best in a neutral, deep and well-drained location. It has deep roots and well-developed lateral roots. The growth rate is medium and slightly slower than that of Platycladus orientalis. The height of the 25-year-old tree is about 8 meters. Extremely long life. It has certain resistance to a variety of harmful gases and is the most resistant tree species among conifers to chlorine and hydrogen fluoride.
