Abstract
Containerized native juniper ( Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg.) were planted on three northern New Mexico mine spoils to evaluate cultural treatments including planting date, mulch, drip irrigation, fertilizer regimes and seedling protection. Two years after planting, survival rates of 72%, 70% and 99% were observed for the best treatments at each planting site. July was the superior planting date for the high elevation site and August was superior for the low elevation site. Drip irrigation proved superior to mulch, and triple-superphosphate was significantly better than slow-release fertilizer (Osmocote 18-–6–12). Plastic mesh was found to be essential and more effective for rodent protection than animal repellant.
