The Hillspire Juniper is a slender, upright evergreen with striking green foliage. It never browns or burns, and it will grow to 10 feet tall within 10 years. Ultimately it reaches 20 feet or more, but it stays slender and pyramidal. Even without trimming it will be no more than 2 feet wide when 10 feet tall, and perhaps 8 to 10 feet wide when a mature tree at 30 feet. The green foliage is rich and fresh, and this tree stays green all winter, even in the coldest areas, which is a big plus. This tough, reliable and hardy plant is perfect for accents, specimens, screens and hedges. Itās the perfect low-maintenance plant for any garden.
Grow the Hillspire Juniper in full sun or a little partial shade, in any well-drained soil. Shallow, rocky soils, sandy soil, or clay, all of them are suitable. Once established this plant is very drought resistant, and it is as happy in zone 3 as it is in zone 9 ā a tree for every garden across the country. It normally has no pests or diseases, deer and rabbits leave it alone, and it is resistant to salt-spray and strong winds.
