Description
A dense, dark green column gives Juniperus chinensis Spartan a narrow vertical profile for screens, windbreaks, and formal accents. Mature plants reach about 15 to 20 feet tall while staying about 4 to 5 feet wide. Primarily scale-like evergreen foliage keeps the screen green through every season.
Plant it in full sun and well-drained soil, and avoid wet sites. Water deeply during the first growing season, then reduce frequency as the roots establish. The plant tolerates some drought once established and usually needs pruning only to shape it. The leaves are toxic.
