Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

Do you have that one difficult spot in your yard where you just need to add a stunning color? Green Columnar Juniper (Juniper chinensis 'Hetzii Columnaris') is the upright evergreen shrub for you!
Green Columnar has a strong pyramidal upright form and grows to 15 feet in height with a tapering top and wider base. The foliage is a rich dark green that will not burn in the sun or bronze in the cold of winter.
While this Juniper will grow to 12-15 feet tall it will only be 4-6 feet wide. Young Green Columnar shrubs will have an open look but as they mature they will become fuller and denser. The leaves are scale-like with a deep rich green color. As they mature the leaves will become darker with a hint of blue. Older female shrubs will develop clusters of round blue-black berry-like seed cones. Trouble-free and deer-resistant finish this shrub off nicely.
Landscape Application:
You can use this vertical growing shrub in any area in your landscape. Green Columnar is a super tough evergreen that is perfect for those difficult spots. If you have rocky soil or your area has heat and drought then take a look at this shrub!
From accents and group plantings to hedges and privacy screenings, Green Columnar is great at softening unsightly chain-link fences or the neighbor's messy backyards. Birds will flit in the shelter of the evergreen branches and happily pluck the berry-like cones in the fall and winter months (on female shrubs).
Green Columnar Juniper can also be planted in containers and boxes. You can even clip and train this tall evergreen bush into spirals and other upright topiary shapes! You can even try your hand at creating unique Bonsai specimens! The uses are limitless with this shrub!
- Bright Green Branches
- Upright Tapering Tall Shrubs
- Bird-Friendly Black Berry-Like Cones For Birds
- Won’t Burn Or Fade In The Sun
- Narrow Hedges, Groupings, Specimens & Container Thrillers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This evergreen Juniper bush should be planted in full sun and well-drained soil where it grows best, being extremely long-lived and low-maintenance once established. Green Columnar is cold and heat-hardy and will thrive where many plants will not. Provide regular water throughout the first year in the ground, but after that, Junipers are drought tolerant. It can be clipped, sheared, or pruned in the spring, or left to grow naturally.
- Full Sun Shrubs
- Any Well-Drained Soils
- Moderate Moisture to Low Once Established
- Prune Early Spring
- Seldom Bothered By Deer
Slim and tall, the vertical evergreen Green Columnar Juniper bush will add height and year-round color to your landscape! Order this one-of-a-kind tough little upright Juniper from Nature Hills!
