As tough and strong as its namesake, the Spartan Juniper Tree (Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan') performs as reliably as a Spartan warrior. The Spartan Juniper has soft but dense foliage. Its foliage is deep green and distributed evenly for a healthy and refined style!
Like most soldiers, this Spartan keeps a tidy appearance! The Spartan Juniper naturally maintains a pyramidal form that requires minimal pruning for a more refined appearance. This evergreen won't take winters off and if you've been procrastinating and want privacy now, this shrub grows quickly.
This brilliant plant also features the endurance and strength of a true soldier. It stands tall through the hottest summer days, coldest winter nights, and the driest times of the year. Once established, it only needs to be watered when it's extremely hot and dry out. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9, this Juniper can grow up to 18 feet in height, but remain columnar at only 4-5 feet wide.
Planting and Application:
This handsome tree grows quickly and evenly, making for an attractive and stately year-round privacy screen or hedge. Nothing looks more stunning than evenly-spaced Spartan Junipers. They promise to uphold and protect your privacy while they vigorously grow.
Plant a line of Spartan Junipers to keep the neighbors from peering into your backyard or to mark your property line in your front yard. These tall, slim Junipers also do well as a windbreak or as an accent plant that will add height to your garden, without sacrificing space.
If you want a topiary to flank your front door, the Spartan Juniper is easy to shape and grows well in containers! In large planters and high-end urns, well-placed Spartan Junipers become prominent and statuesque garden features! Add them to large patios and porches, transforming them into Italian Terrazas!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Your Spartan Juniper, like all Junipers, is very easy to grow! It will do best with well-irrigated soil that drains wells which will help prevent root rot. It thrives with medium moisture and full sun. Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to keep their roots insulated and retain soil moisture. Shear or prune your shrubs if needed after the first flush of spring growth.
- Full Sun
- Moderate to Low Moisture
