Fertilize Hicks Yew again in late summer to mid-fall. Upright junipers such as Skyrocket Juniper grow best if they are fertilized lightly in the spring once frost has passed with a well-balanced, extended-release, fertilizer such as espoma Tree-tone or Holly tone to provide the extra acid that junipers crave. Fertilize Skyrocket Juniper again in late summer to mid-fall. We recommend when planting your plants to use Bio-tone starter fertilizer by Espoma. We have trialed many so called “starter fertilizers” over the years and have come to rely on Bio-tone exclusively for our own use. Simply mix the recommended amount of Bio-tone into the back fill soil and water in generously when back filled. Bio-tone® Starter Plus is an all-natural plant food that is combined with a stronger concentration of beneficial bacteria along with both endo and ecto mycorrhizae. Basically the “good” fungus in Bio-tone colonizes on the growing roots of your newly planted plant and does not allow disease causing fungus to attack the new roots. It has also shown promise in stimulating the growth of the new roots which means quicker establishment for you plant. After establishment and during the following years we recommend Holly-tone used at the recommended rates. Holly-tone is also organic and slow release which will feed your trees the proper amount of nutrients over a period of time rather than all at once which can burn the root tips and actually have the opposite effect of slowing down plant growth. It also will help to naturally maintain the acid level in the soil that Italian Cypress need to thrive.\"    }  },{    \"@type\": \"Question\",    \"name\": \"How should I prune my Italian cypress?\",    \"acceptedAnswer\": {      \"@type\": \"Answer\",      \"text\": \"Pruning is generally not needed however for a formal hedge start shearing when the tree reaches 5 to 6 feet in height, cutting only the sides, remove no more than 3 or 4 inches of growth at any time. This will cause the tree to grow thicker and more dense. If you want the tree to grow tall don’t cut the top leader, just shape the sides. The best time to shear is after a new growth finishes and the growth begins to harden off. Growth will go from a smooth, greasy texture, to a rougher snake skin look as it matures. Shearing once per year is sufficient but only if needed. To keep your trees at a particular height requires cutting the central leader or top and then shearing all outside growth as needed. Pruning can help make Italian Cypress more dense. It is recommended that you disinfect your shears before you begin and even after each plant to prevent disease spread. Dead or diseased limbs may be pruned at any time of the year.\"    }  },{    \"@type\": \"Question\",    \"name\": \"What pests are attracted to Italian Cypress?\",    \"acceptedAnswer\": {      \"@type\": \"Answer\",      \"text\": \"Italian Cypress normally have only a few insects that cause any real problems. Bag-worms are probably the worst pest, on small trees Bag-worms can be picked by hand but larger trees need to be sprayed. Scale is another insect that attacks Italian Cypress, they look like little crusty flakes covering the needles and branches. Scale feed on sap causing a chlorosis (yellow) look to the needles. The most difficult insect to control on Italian Cypress is Spider Mites. These are very small insects that can be seen with a magnifying glass. Feeding on the sap causes needles to turn yellow and later brown. Spidermites have become resistant to most of the old chemicals. We recommend using only true miticides for control.\"    }  },{    \"@type\": \"Question\",    \"name\": \"What types of soil will Italian Cypress grow in?\",    \"acceptedAnswer\": {      \"@type\": \"Answer\",      \"text\": \"Italian Cypress Trees grow well in a wide range of soils, ranging from all sand to pure red clay. When planting in very sandy soils adding organic matter is always recommended to improve the soils ability to hold water and nutrients. When planting in hard clay soils, its best to dig the hole several feet wider than the root system and fill with soft loam soil to give the young Italian Cypress tree a faster, more aggressive root system. Italian Cypress prefer well drained soils but will tolerate wet soils for short periods of time. Cypress should never be planted in soils that are excessively wet for long periods of time. Since Italian Cypress have a shallow root system, weeds and grass growing around the tree will cause the tree to grow much slower until established. Mulching will improve your growth three fold. Mulch not only stops weeds and grass, it will hold soil moisture and maintain a lower more even soil temperature, stimulating more aggressive root growth.\"    }  }]}\/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"gardengoodsdirect","offers":[{"title":"1.5 to 2 Feet Tall Heavy","offer_id":35765010595990,"sku":"01470F","price":26.95,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 to 3 Feet Tall Heavy","offer_id":35765010628758,"sku":"21460N","price":46.95,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0461\/4284\/9174\/products\/Italian_Cypress.jpg?v=1597351953","url":"https:\/\/trysnowwre-com.myshopify.com\/products\/italian-cypress","provider":"trysnowwre.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
