Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan'
Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan' is a fast-growing evergreen conifer with a narrow, upright, pyramidal shape. Its fine-textured, dense foliage showcases a rich, deep green hue that persists throughout the year. The scale-like leaves are tightly packed along the branches, giving the plant a lush and refined appearance. As it matures, it broadens slightly at the base while retaining its sleek, elegant profile.
Cultural
Conifers prefer an open, sunny position in moist, well-drained soil but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. Once established, they are very hardy. For best results, fertilize with a long-term slow-release fertilizer in early spring, and trim to shape when required.
Landscape Uses
A versatile and architectural evergreen conifer, ideal for adding strong vertical interest to the landscape. Its naturally narrow, columnar form makes it perfect for creating formal hedges, screens, or windbreaks, as well as lining driveways or entrances for a stately effect. It also works beautifully as a feature plant in Mediterranean, Japanese, or contemporary garden designs, and can be clipped into topiary shapes for a structured look.
