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:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
