| EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku'
A very interesting juniper that is most commonly used in bonsai and topiary applications, but works well in landscaping as well. Nice super green foliage with a very irregular, low growing vase form with maturity.Develops an attractive, flaking bark to it with maturity as well. Can be used as a lower growing foreground planting. Also looks fabulous in rock gardens, as well as conatainer growing for bonsai & topiary projects. Likes average to rich, well drained soil. Loves full sun, but will take partial shade as well. This is actually a fairly hard to locate variety of juniper, but has good ornamental value and multiple uses.
