Sale price$1,000.00

Juniperus virginiana 'Spartan' is a robust and fast-growing evergreen conifer prized for its naturally narrow, upright conical form and rich dark green foliage. Grown as a trained standard, it makes a striking formal statement perfect for entrances, borders, pots, or structured hedging in both modern and classical garden designs.

Typically reaching 3–6 meters in height and 1–2 meters wide, this variety thrives in full sun and adapts well to a wide range of well-drained soils, including poor or sandy types. Its compact vertical shape fits beautifully into tight spaces, narrow screening, or symmetrical rows along driveways and pathways.

Spartan Juniper holds its elegant shape without frequent pruning, making it a superb low-maintenance option for tall hedging or topiary. It’s also highly drought-tolerant once established and durable against wind and frost, making it reliable in exposed or challenging conditions.

This tree looks excellent when you want a clean, architectural feature that stands tall with effortless grace, blending function and refined style seamlessly into your outdoor space.
