Description

This fast-growing juniper reaches a size of 5' x 10'. Featherly bright green foliage is prickly and has a nice fragrance when crushed. Native to China. It is low maintenance and popular in many landscapes. Prune regularly to maintain a dense habit. This shrub may need extra summer water but is quite hardy once it's established.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
