I wondering if junipers also can burn when get water mist under strong sun. I mist them just in morning and/or evening for reference : )

Mine are in full sun. I never mist, I think that's useless; the water evaporates quickly.

I spray them firstly after LB’s advice and later I’ve also learnt how they can get nuts and humidity through the foliage. Wasn’t useless for me with the root rotted blight infected J.communis ; )

The question is, if they can burn or not.

/Not a myth! I’ve tested on few occasions.../

If your numbers are in Fahrenheit, it means 5-10 Celsius degree. Mines are outside at 5F or -15C

Not sure what you're referring to. Spraying with water? Or chemicals?

Pure water.

( I thinking some foliar feeding on one Juni, but without chemicals.)

Sorry i forget to mention..... I ment in celsius -20 °c in over all during winter and we got some peak to -40/-50°C

Pure water does not cause burns.

I didn’t heard anyone on the hobby from Syberia.. :blink:
I think you need better winter protection than me. : D I prepare just for -15 / -20C and just short periods..

I’ve got garden plants get burned on several occasions from tap water on them on strong sun, and dry weather.

It’s not the loop effect.. I think too fast evaporation (dry, sunny weather) generates too much heat in too short time on a small surface.

Actually im from northern canada what woud you recomend me for protecting it? Whe have several monts of winter up here! (The plant is in a pot on my balcony im in an appartement on the third floor)

I really cannot give you advice : ) I’m a newbie myself, and I have 0 experience for keeping or wintering trees in your location.

I'm lazy in the weekends and sometimes forget that I need to water my collection. It happens often that I do that in the afternoon, in full sun (well... if we have full sun in the Netherlands). I've never seen burns on any of my trees or plants.

Waterdrops working as a lense causing sunburns has been debunked often (and yes, there may be an exception).
