Upright Junipers

Upright junipers are evergreen trees and are excellent choices if your planting space is narrow or otherwise confined. They vary in height between 4’ and 20’ and in width between 3’ and 8’. Some junipers are deep green in color whereas others are striking faded blue. Many junipers are drought tolerant once they become established and grow at a medium to fast rate (6” to more than a foot per year).
