From November 10, 2018.

Here I am, smug as can be, with my biggest prize yet.

I got this Blue Juniper at sale at Lowe’s. Although I prefer Home Depot to Lowe’s because they tend to have better plant prices, Lowe’s has a clearance section. Sometimes I will swing by there to see if I can find any good deals. And I did! This guy was $12, originally $40, with no signs of sickness. It looks as though they just needed room for the pine Christmas trees. I scoured through all of the trees to find them best one. This one has a great thick with nice taper.

At about four feet tall, he has a lot of potential. I will most likely air layer it in the spring to maximize my material. But air layering is best for the spring. I will wait until then (maybe… I’m impatient.) For now, he is just chilling. I love my big boy.
