Taylor Juniper (Columnar Eastern Red Cedar) – 7 Gallon Pot

At 25 feet tall by 3 to 4 feet wide at maturity, the Taylor Juniper is a handsome and easy-to-grow North American native evergreen tree perfect for use where there is limited space. It is an exclamation point in the sunny landscape or home foundation plantings and excellent for privacy screen plantings where space is limited, to line a driveway or property line or for using two frame an entrance. Adding 15 to 24 inches in height per year, its blue green to gray green evergreen foliage requires no trimming or pruning to keep its dense and narrow columnar form, which is much like the shape of the Washington Monument. Highly adaptable, Taylor Juniper tolerates poor conditions in full to partial sun. The only thing that it doesn’t like is wet soil. It is highly drought tolerant when established and the deer don’t touch it.

Growing up to 25 feet tall and only 3 to 4 feet wide, the Taylor Juniper is ideal for use as a privacy screen or hedge where space is limited. Also effective to fill narrow spaces in home foundation plantings or as a specimen anywhere in the sunny landscape. A fine addition to conifer gardens, rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Spacing:  3′ for solid hedges and privacy screens;  7′ or more for space between plants
