| Average Size at Maturity | Slow growing; reaches 10 ft. tall, 2 to 3 ft. wide. |
| Bloom Time | Conifer; prized for foliage. |
| Design Ideas | This very narrow, columnar Juniper is available in natural or spiral form. A dramatic, almost architectural plant that is much like the classic Italian Cypress but far more cold hardy. Line them up into a dense hedge for a windbreak or privacy screen or use the spirals as a formal accent. Use as a vertical accent for naturalistic landscapes of mixed conifers. |
