  • Description

  • Notes

Shore juniper is generally a dense, low, spreading juniper, growing 1 to 2 feet tall and 6 to 9 feet wide (growth may vary among cultivars). Coloration tends towards blue-green, with cultivars selected for superior color. Though evergreen, needles may turn slightly yellow during the winter months. Junipers are tough shrubs, and well suited to hot dry sites; just put them where they have the room to spread out.
