Golden Pfitzer Juniper

A great golden Juniper that handles tough conditions and seaside gardens, the Golden Pfitzer Juniper Bush (Juniperus x pfitzeriana 'Aurea') is a fast-growing evergreen! Both Golden Pfitzer's slightly drooping branches old-growth foliage and new growth are bright gold, giving the plant its common name.

Golden Pfitzer grows to a nice 4-5 feet in height but spreads up to 6-8 feet wide! One plant will cover some serious ground as its branches from one low central point, with scaly, red-brown bark. The foliage is pungent when crushed and finely textured.

Grey berries are inconspicuous on female shrubs, less than 1/4 inch, and do not pose a litter problem but birds will seek them out for some winter nourishment. But most of these shrubs are male so there are usually no cones.

Pest and disease-free, Golden Pfitzer grows throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9, these fast-growing golden evergreen shrubs shine throughout the entire year, staying golden green spring, summer, autumn, and winter!
