Description
Juniper Taylor is a stunning, narrow-columnar evergreen that delivers a bold, refined presence to the landscape. With its striking blue-green foliage and naturally upright, symmetrical form, this juniper makes an excellent choice for adding structure and height to small spaces, entryways, or as a sophisticated privacy screen. Its tidy, dense habit ensures a polished look year-round, while its cold-hardy nature makes it a reliable statement piece in Michigan landscapes. Whether planted as a single accent or in a row for a stately effect, this juniper brings a touch of elegance with minimal upkeep.

- Watering: Once established, water occasionally, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings

With its sleek, upright silhouette and refreshing blue-green foliage, Juniper Taylor is one of the finest choices for a space-saving vertical accent that provides year-round interest and structure to the landscape.
