Description

The Hollywood Juniper is a living sculpture, famed for its wildly twisted, irregular, and upright branching habit that creates a dramatic, windswept silhouette. Its foliage is a mix of scale-like and prickly juvenile needles in shades of gray-green. This highly architectural, drought-tolerant tree adds instant flair and vertical interest as a specimen, privacy screen, or an essential element in themed gardens (Asian, modern, coastal), thriving with minimal care.

  • Instantly recognizable for its strongly twisted, irregular, upright branches forming a unique, open sculpture.

  • Foliage is a mix of adult scales and prickly juvenile needles in gray-green.

  • Grows as a large, upright shrub or small, multi-trunked tree.

  • Highly drought, heat, and wind tolerant once established; ideal for coastal and low-water landscapes.

  • Requires no pruning to maintain its artistic form; in fact, shearing ruins its character.

  • A bold specimen or accent plant for adding year-round drama.

Faqs

Q: How do I plant it for the best effect?
A: Plant it as a solitary focal point where its unique form can be appreciated from all angles—against a plain wall, at the corner of a building, or in an open bed. Underplant with simple groundcovers to highlight its structure.

Q: Will it grow straight?
A: No, and that's the point. Its growth is inherently irregular and twisting. Each tree develops its own unique character. Do not stake it to force straight growth; embrace its natural, artistic form.
