The Golden Glow Juniper Tree is an ideal gift tree, because it is unique, rarely available, easy to grow and highly adaptable. It has flashing, yellow-gold foliage covering the whole plant, not just the tips, and it holds that color all year long without fading to green. It has a short trunk that allows it to cascade down in a semi-pendulous fashion, forming a sweeping mound of gold, with uplifting waves of the young shoots. Despite its remarkable and delicate appearance, this tree is super-tough, handling drought, urban conditions, cold and anything except dark and wetness. Planted in a sunny spot it will grow rapidly into a broad, cascading form, 3 -4 feet tall and 4 feet across. The golden color will last throughout the year, unlike many other golden conifers that fade to green after a spring show.
This tree is so easy to grow it needs no care at all. Once established it thrives in hot, dry conditions, but it is hardy to at least minus 30. Snow and ice will not trouble it and you can be sure that the person you give this tree to will be able to grow it almost anywhere in their garden and enjoy it. It can be a feature in a small bed, part of the foundation planting around a home, or fill a planter box or large pot. This really is a great gift tree that we highly recommend.
