Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An upright, pyramidal form of Juniper with scale and awl-shaped leaves and needles that are bright green. Grows to around 10-15' high but with age can reach 20-25'. Lots of controversy on height. Michigan State says 6'. What's a girl to believe??? I think it's an age factor. Most sources list the height of shrubs at 8 years of age. But many shrubs, although maybe slow, continue to grow a long time. So this is probably 6' feet at 8 years and 25' tall in 50-75 years. The female has heavy cone production, note however, our plants are unsexed.
