![]() Fertilization / Feeding : For maximum health & hardiness, we highly recommend a good grade granular ( preferably organic ) fertilizer / plant food for use with all of our plant species. Deer Resistance Rating : Lowest Resistance Highest Resistance Recommended Spacing : 3 ft apart recommended for privacy screen/barrier. Diseases / Insects : Rather trouble free juniper variety - however both Phomopsis & Kabatina lights have been observed on specimens if planted in soil with inadequate drainage, or if kept in overly wet conditions for extended periods of time. Flower, Cone, Or Berry Facts : Berries - small bluish colored berries commonly seen on more mature specimens. Texture is very similar to that of Torulosa Juniper - not quite as needle like, or prickly as many junipers though. ![]() Foliage Color & Texture : Evergreen - foliage color is beautiful dark mint green all year round - no winter discoloration noticed here in East TN. Soil Preference : Average to slightly acidic & sandy - well drained. Growth rate, and foliage density will both suffer slightly when planted in shady locations. Sun Exposure : Full sun preferred, but will tolerate some partial shade as well. Growth Rate : Moderate to fast ( 10" - 18" avg per yr ) or even planting up against buildings & along property lines. FAST GROWING! Works great as a border or privacy screen, also for lining driveways, sidewalks. No trimming or pruning needed - very hardy, tough plant. Almost could be considered a "green" version of skyrocket juniper, but it is a tad shorter and just a bit wider than skyrocket. Its foliage is a rich green all year around. This juniper variety has a fast growing, dense, narrow columnar growth habit - tapers ever so slightly in width from the base on up to the point.
