An elegant, erect, broadly weeping form that has been around since 1838. Sharp blue green foliage forms an extremely graceful weeping habit. This plant can be either grown upright (if staked) or mounding. May become bronze during the winter.

This attractive Common Juniper Tree has a broadly weeping habit, the result of many side leaders and branches that lay close to, then sweep up and away from, the trunk. Thin, sharp, blue-green needles form a lacy texture with decorative berries and flaking bark adding even more interest to this graceful, reliable, cold hardy selection.
