Juniperus chinensis 'Fairview'

Latin name
Juniperus chinensis 'Fairview'
Common name
Chinese Juniper 'Fairview'
Type
Coniferous
Family
Cupressaceae

Juniperus chinensis 'Fairview' is a large ornamental shrubby juniper, prized for its upright, spreading habit and elegant blue-green dense foliage. This variety is distinguished by its robust and well-branched structure, eventually forming a large coniferous shrub that is wider than strictly columnar, ideal for visual screens, informal hedges, and solitary plantings. Its evergreen foliage, composed of fine, slightly prickly needles, maintains a stable coloration throughout the year, providing a structuring presence even in winter. Very drought-tolerant once established, cold-hardy, and undemanding regarding soil, 'Fairview' is perfectly suited for northern gardens and sustainable landscape designs. It is an excellent choice for creating volume, contrast, and lasting structure without intensive maintenance.
