Idyllwild Juniper

The Idyllwild Juniper has a unique form, between a neat pyramid and a more rugged tree with upright limbs. It has dense foliage and grows rapidly to be 10 or 20 feet tall, staying less than 10 feet wide. In time it will grow taller and become more tree-like. The soft foliage is in fern-like sprays, and it is a rich, clean green without any blue, staying that way all through winter. This tree has more character than many other slender evergreens, and it’s a great addition to a semi-natural garden. As a native tree it is perfect for a wild-flower garden, and its drought tolerance makes it ideal for xeric or water-wise gardening.

• Rich green foliage all year round
• Pyramidal form with slightly twisted branches
• To choice for xeric gardening
• Native tree for natural and wild-flower gardens
• Highly resistant to both cold and drought

Plant the Idyllwild Juniper in full sun for the best growth, but a little partial shade is tolerated well. Any well-drained soil is suitable, including rocky and sandy soils, heavy clays, urban soils and limestone soils. It is hardy all across the country, accepting both cold and heat, as well as periods of drought. Insects and pests normally never bother it, and deer leave it alone. You can trim it if you want, but this tree looks best grown naturally.
