Description

'Gold Lace' is a selection of Pfitzer juniper (which is itself a selection of J. chinensis that has given rise to its own set of cultivars) with exceptional gold color, particularly at the tips of its branches, which emerge with a lacy, fern-like texture. More compact than other varieties. Excellent for mass plantings or specimen use.
