EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
 
Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan'
                


Overall Description

   This juniper variety has a fast growing, dense, narrow columnar growth habit - tapers ever so slightly in width from the base on up to the point. Its foliage is a rich green all year around. Almost could be considered a "green" version of skyrocket juniper, but it is a tad shorter and just a bit wider than skyrocket. No trimming or pruning needed - very hardy, tough plant. FAST GROWING!!!
   Works great as a border or privacy screen, also for lining driveways, sidewalks.......or even planting up against buildings & along property lines.


 
Plant Facts & Specifications
 
Mature Height: 12-15 ft
 
Mature Width:  3 - 3 1/2 ft
 
Growth rate: Moderate to fast  ( 10"-18" avg per yr )
 
Hardiness Zones:  4-9 ( if unsure of your zone, please use zone finder below )
 
Sun Exposure: Full sun preferred, but will tolerate some partial shade as well. Growth rate, and foliage density will both suffer slightly when planted in shady locations.

Soil Preference: Average to slightly acidic & sandy - well drained.
 
Foliage Color & Texture: Foliage color is beautiful dark mint green all year round - no winter discoloration noticed here in East TN. Texture is very similar to that of Torulosa Juniper - not quite as needle like, or prickly as the vast majority are though. Slightly softer feel to the foliage.

Flower, Cone, Or Berry Facts: Small bluish colored berries commonly seen on more mature specimens

Diseases / Insects: Rather trouble free juniper variety - however both Phomopsis & Kabatina lights have been observed on specimens if planted in soil with inadequate drainage, or if kept in overly wet conditions for extended periods of time.

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.
