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.
Juniperus belongs to the Cupressaceae family, which includes popular evergreen trees such as Juniperus virginiana (Eastern Red Cedar), Thuja occidentalis (Northern White Cedar), Cupressus sempervirens (Italian Cypress), Sequoia sempervirens (Coast Redwood), and Cupressus arizonica (Arizona Cypress).
