Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Evergreen conifer with slightly twisted branches that give this shrub/tree an irregular swirling appearance. Foliage is a lovely green throughout the year. This plant will make a dramatic, artistic presence in any yard if left unpruned and allowed to take on its natural shape. This tree is extremely tolerant of heat and salt, so will do well in coastal conditions.
This irregular growing juniper makes a beautiful accent to any garden. Height is 10 to 15 feet and spread of 4 to 6 feet. Very easy to grow and will tolerate seashore conditions.
Irregular upright growth habit and excellent green color. One of the best. A large grower 8-10' in ten years, eventually reaching 15 to 20 foot tall or more in old age. Awards: Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Recommended by: the United States National Arboretum.
