Signs of Cold Temperatures in Rocky mountain juniper

Symptoms

Rocky mountain juniper tolerates cold well and flourishes when temperatures are above 50℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 32℉. If temperatures drop below 14℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.
