Evergreen Juniperus chinensis (Juniper)
Color Name: Gold Cone
This Juniper is anything but common with a tight, dense, upright, slow growing form that makes it perfect for an incredible number of landscape situations. Gold Cone's superb gold foliage color really sets it apart. It only grows about 3-4" per year making it ideal for smaller landscape spots or containers. Its new foliage bursts forth in the spring with bold, bright gold coloration and it retains its color with a minimum of fading throughout the hot summer and following cold winter conditions. Like all Junipers, 'Gold Cone' is easy to grow and does best in bright, full sun locations.
Growing Tips: Tolerates hot, dry, sunny locations and urban sites.
Soil: Well-drained soil is imperative; can tolerate dry conditions and poor soils.
Pruning: Pruning is not typically required as a matter of course; prune to shape or to control spread as needed.
Uses: Mass plantings, specimen plant.
