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.
