|---|---|
| Average Size at Maturity | Grows 1 ft. tall, 6 ft. wide, in natural form; 2 to 4 ft. tall in staked form. |
| Bloom Time | Conifer; prized for foliage. |
| Design Ideas | This is probably the best bonsai-style Juniper for Asian gardens or for small topiary. Super tight foliage and lovely blue-green tint makes a neat mound. Perfect with rocks and in rock gardens or around natural rocky water features. Because it is available in so many preshaped forms, you can choose one for a formal setting, another for true bonsai and a third for a courtyard specimen with multiple branches. Highly recommended for tiny city gardens; if there's room for only one Juniper, let it be this one. |
