Description

This is the plant that the industry has been waiting and wishing for: a fast-growing, tightly pyramidal, own-root Juniperus virginiana. It's the ideal deer-resistant native evergreen that's as fast to produce for growers as it is to create coverage in the landscape. Green foliage is smooth, not prickly, and plants need little pruning to create that dense, appealing shape. Perfect hedge or specimen! Developed by John Davy, Panhandle Growers, Milton, FL.
