Spiny Greek Juniper is an evergreen that grows in a dense, conical form. Plant these for a dramatic accent next to your front entrance, or use several as a stately hedge or windbreak.
Your Spiny Greek Juniper is a combination of elegance and brawn. The vertical branching of its blue-tinted, sage-green foliage sweeps upward to create a tall, stately evergreen that’s perfect for accent or border. It can be shaped into a variety of designs or left to grow naturally tall and imposing.
Spiny Greek Juniper’s spunky elegance is balanced by its vigorous spirit. Its tough, needle-like foliage is dense and stiff to the touch, with a comparable hardiness that makes it an easy choice for the home gardener.
