Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan' Cake Stand
Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan' is a fast-growing evergreen conifer. 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. These plants have been expertly pruned into a unique form, featuring a rounded ball on top with tiered hemispheres along the trunk, resembling the elegant tiers of a cake stand.
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
Plants pruned in a tiered, cake-stand-like form can serve as eye-catching focal points in garden beds with their symmetrical, sculptural appearance. Placed along walkways or entrances, they create a sense of grandeur and elegance. They are also ideal for large pots on balconies, terraces, or entryways, adding height and structure. Additionally, these plants are perfect for event decoration, offering a whimsical or formal touch for weddings, garden parties, or seasonal displays.
