Hey Dorothy great job on the Hollywood. I've had problems with juvenile foliage when I've cut back hard. That's why I mostly gave up on them. You don't seem to have that problem-what's the secret?

Hi Bob,
you trim the centers first (during the growing phases). Then you come back and conservatively trim the side branchlets. Then you go back again and trim the sides to the lengths you wish. That works for me in general with junipers. However, the tree needs to be healthy and strong. Trimming the tips will weaken the juniper a bit. Usually I trim back the tips in the upper areas of the tree first. It halts the dominance and lets me strengthen the lower portions of the tree. Kind of what you do with JBP in reverse: You address the stronger parts first.

Best,
Dorothy

It was only a rain event for us here in the Naples/ Bonita Springs area. A pic of Isaac at Bonita Beach this morning via iphone:
