The Itoigawa juniper has fine, mid green foilage. Its twisted trunks and branches lend themselves to dramatic deadwood effects. Excellent subjects for bonsai it can be shaped in many styles.Junipers are hardy in temperate areas. In areas where temperatures fall below -10°C (14°F), it will benefit from moving to a frost-free shed or greenhouse in winter. It does best if it is placed in full sun throughout the growing season with light shade during the very hottest days. During the winter, junipers can turn a brown or reddish colour when exposed to frost which is normal and will return to green when the weather warms again.
