Notes

'Torulosa' Chinese juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Torulosa') is a tree for specimen planting, hedges, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows in a conical shape at a moderate rate. It stays evergreen and tolerates salt, so it needs little care. Deer tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Mountain mint, and Hornbeam.
