Juniperus chinensis 'Stricta' (Chinese Juniper)
Chinese Juniper 'Stricta'
Compact and slow-growing, Juniperus chinensis 'Stricta' (Chinese Juniper) is a narrow, pyramidal, evergreen shrub resembling the Italian cypress with its branches ascending to a point. Tightly branched, its soft, blue-green foliage is quite ravishing. Ideal for providing year-round structure, it makes a wonderful specimen plant and adds accent vertical lines to the landscape.

- Grows up to 5-6 ft. tall (150-180 cm) and 2-4 ft. wide (160-120 cm).
- A full sun lover, this plant is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerates a wide range of soils including clay soils. Drought tolerant once established.
- Perfect as a specimen plant, for foundation plantings, screens, or hedges.
- Low maintenance, no pruning required.
- Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings
- Native to China, Japan, Mongolia and the Himalayas
