Virginia juniper 'Taylor'
FamilyCupressaceae
Juniperus virginiana 'Taylor', known as Taylor Juniper, is an evergreen conifer remarkable for its extremely narrow and columnar habit. This selection forms a slender, almost vertical silhouette, making it an excellent choice for confined spaces, alignments, or narrow plant screens. Its dense, bluish-green foliage, composed of fine scales, covers the branches very tightly, creating an elegant texture that remains ornamental all year round. Very hardy and resistant, this juniper tolerates poor, dry, or calcareous soils, as well as urban and windy conditions. Its naturally compact shape requires little pruning, making it an ideal structural plant for modern gardens, foundation plantings, or narrow hedges.
