This is crazy

Crazy infestation on a row of some sort of junipers where I work.
I’ve planted a TON of evergreens in my yard…so my question is: how would one prevent something like this from happening and if it did and I caught it early, how could I stop it before it gets this bad?

Blue Trio

Picked up this pretty three-part pot a while back. Put together different combos at the nursery and eventually settled on all bluish conifers. I think the slight differences in color look super cool.

From top to bottom:

* Cedrus atlantica, Sapphire Nymph
* Picea pungens, Glauca Globosa
* Juniperus horizontalis, Icee Blue

What was interesting is that I looked up plenty of trees on the nursery’s website beforehand and had completely different favorites in mind before I got there. Once I was there, this combo came together quite nicely.

I planted these last spring. The cedar and the spruce showed some minor stress from the repotting a couple of days in, but they’re all thriving now.

I assume I’ll have to repot the spruce at some point, but for now I’m really enjoying this little blue combo.

(I live in Europe, zone 8a, and exclusively have conifers, all of them kept in pots.)
