Taylor Juniper

The Taylor Juniper is that wonderful thing – a super tough plant that is also beautiful, and that will bring a formal look to your garden without the work of trimming. Its natural form is narrow and upright, reaching over 20 feet in time, but never more than 3 feet wide. You can bring that romantic Mediterranean look to gardens in cold zones, by the sea, on poor soils of all kinds, and you will love its rich, silvery blue-green foliage colors, which deepen during the winter months. Use it for a narrow screen, as a lawn specimen, clustered behind shorter shrubs, or in containers flanking a door or entrance. For hardiness and beauty, it simply has no equal.

• Super-tough vertical accent evergreen
• Rich silvery blue-green foliage color
• Neat, narrow form needs no trimming
• Brings a formal look to any landscape
• Grows well in the most difficult locations

The Taylor Juniper will grow in full sun on any soil, just as long as it is well-drained. For dry, sandy or rocky soils it is ideal. It grows well near the sea, on salty soil and in ocean spray. It also grows well in alkaline soils, and urban soils. It is extremely drought resistant too, once it is established. It has no significant pests or diseases, and deer and rabbits leave it alone. It doesn’t need any trimming to keep its neat, narrow, upright form, but you can trim it to control the height, and for a super-formal look, if you wish.
