EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
 
Juniperus virginiana 'Grey Owl'
 
Overall Description
 
  A medium sized spreading juniper with large, ascending branches that droop ever so slightly - very similar growth habit to Pfitzer type junipers. Foliage color is a brilliant silvery gray. A very nice landscape plant but seldom seen because of its lack of availability. Uses include color accents, foundation plantings, and can even be trimmed / sheared for use as a tough, hardy hedge. Brilliant foliage color year round - even through the winter. First discovered in 1938 in a batch of Juniperus virginiana 'Glauca' seedlings.
  Grey Owl juniper is a female clone, and is known to be very prolific producer of juniper berries & cones. Definitely one of our favorite juniper varieties - worth heavy consideration when looking for an attractive, low maintenance, hardy shrub of medium height.
 
 
 Plant Facts & Specifications
 
Mature Height: 4-5 ft
 
Mature Width:  6-8 ft
 
Growth rate: Moderate ( 4"- 8" avg per yr )
 
Hardiness Zones:  3-9 ( if unsure of your zone, please use zone finder below )
 
Sun Exposure: Full sun preferred, but will tolerate some partial shade as well. Best foliage density, growth rate, and color in full sun.
 
Soil Preference: Average to slightly acidic & sandy - well drained. Will adapt to a fairly wide range of soil types. Adequate drainage is a must though.
 
Foliage Color & Texture: Soft textured, appressed silvery blue / gray foliage is very attractive year round.

Flower, Cone, Or Berry Facts: This variety is known to be an extremely good producer of juniper berries. Mature specimens are loaded with dark bluish colored berries on a yearly basis.
 
Diseases / Insects: Rather trouble free juniper - but as with most all J. virginiana cultivars, both bagworms and cedar apple rust can occasionally occur. Inspect specimens yearly as a precaution.

Fertilization / Feeding:
Either water soluble ( Miracle Gro, or equivalent ), or granular ( Holly Tone is excellent ). Other granular types with 6-12-12, or 10-10-10 ratio is acceptable. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall - avoid feeding during hot summer months, and directly after transplanting.
