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. The dense foliage makes it perfect for hedges and windbreaks too. A good choice for narrow spaces in need of a pointedly upright evergreen shrub.
