Savin Juniper
Exceedingly tough, Juniperus sabina (Savin Juniper) is a shrubby evergreen conifer of spreading or creeping habit with slender shoots clothed with dark green, scale-like leaves which do not turn purple in winter. Aromatic, the foliage gives off a fetid smell when crushed. The red-brown bark peels in strips on mature stems. Valued for its decorative effect throughout the year, this small Juniper makes a wonderful specimen plant or hedge. Great for erosion control.
