Burkii Juniper

The Burkii Juniper is an upright, conical evergreen growing 10 or 15 feet tall and about 6 feet wide at the base. It has blue-green to silver-blue foliage that turns purple in winter, adding variety to your garden. The dense branches can be trimmed into a more formal shape or left to grow naturally. Grow it as a lawn accent, on slopes and banks, in urban gardens, or as part of a natural garden of native trees. This reliable and easily grown plant can find a place in every garden where you want beauty without high maintenance.

• Attractive upright conical form to 15 feet

Plant the Burkii Juniper in full sun or light partial shade. It is hardy almost everywhere, even in zones 2 and 3, and it grows in northern Florida and around the Gulf. It grows in almost any soil, from rocks and sand to clay, if the soil is not always wet. It tolerates salt, urban pollution and deer, and pests or diseases rarely bother it. Trim from late spring to early fall if you want a more formal look.
