Use this upright, narrow evergreen to keep your yard green and boost your privacy all year long. It certainly will add architectural interest with its lean, mean outline!
How does the Taylor Juniper differ from other Junipers? Well, this strong, straight Juniper was discovered in Taylor, Nebraska, and developed by the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum.
Much like a classic Italian Cypress, this special selection of native Eastern Red Cedar grows tall and straight in a vertical column. It features foliage that is softer and denser than other varieties.
You’ll also be pleased to learn this robust plant isn’t high maintenance. Waterwise Taylor Juniper is easy to care for and flourishes across the country.
You will even make your local birds happy with a few Taylor Junipers in your yard. They delight in snacking on the ornamental greenish-gray cones the female trees produce...as well as the thick shelter.
Once established, it only needs water during the hottest times of the year, and it tolerates poor soils including rocky soils. It stands tall and healthy through some of the coldest times of the year, surviving temperature drops down to -40 degrees!
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own one of the most versatile and attractive Junipers you can find. Taylor Juniper is wildly popular for good reason...place your order today!
How to Use Taylor Juniper in the Landscape
This columnar grows into a stunning living pillar. Create an amazing, easy-care garden planting to enjoy looking out at from your patio or deck with several spaced five to seven feet apart from trunk to trunk.
They are so helpful when used along your property line. Low in care requirements but high in utility; Taylor Juniper has no trouble fitting even in slim side yards.
Choose this North American native for an attractive privacy screen to keep your pool or backyard shielded from prying eyes planted three feet apart. Double up and plant a staggered second row for a fast screen that stays handsome and clean all year.
This is a durable choice to control erosion along a sloped edge of your yard. It's been included by many experienced gardeners in windbreaks.
Add an easy sense of grandeur with a formal pair of these columns planted on either side of your doorway. This technique increases the anticipation of entry while grounding your home to the landscape.
Taylor Juniper even looks delightful as added height in a woodland garden or as a border. Consider them as a glorious sculpture...your admirers will need to tilt their heads back to take in the full height.
#ProPlantTips for Care
Plant these special trees in full sun. They need at least six hours of direct sunlight a day...the more sun the better.
Ensure that you plant in well-drained soils that won't retain water for long after a rainfall. If needed, add additional soil in a planting mound...using Nature Hills Root Booster as a life-long support for their feeder root system.
For their first season, pay close attention to a consistent watering schedule as their roots get established. After that first season, these drought-tolerant trees require low moisture and only need supplemental watering during drought.
No need to prune this choice! Just be sure to site it where it can grow to its full height and spread.
This selection is a top choice of garden designers across the country. Place your order for Taylor Juniper right away!
