Plant of the Week: Spartan Juniper

Spartan Junipers can grow into a narrow cone or columnar shape that stays quite thick.  It can grow up to 20 feet tall but is not a fast grower. They make a great stand-alone tree in your yard or if planted in a row on 4’-6’ centers, make a great screen.

Spartan Junipers grow in full sun or partial shade and are highly drought tolerant and highly salt tolerant so work well in salt prone areas.

Like any other juniper, be vigilant of spider mites but otherwise fairly pest free.
