Description

New growth is a bright, golden yellow color; the juniper itself is fast-growing to a size of 5' tall by 10' wide. It prefers full sun in coastal areas but will benefit from afternoon shade in warm inland valleys. It is not fussy about soil as long as it has good drainage. Once established, it needs little watering.
