Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Saybrook Gold'

Overview

Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Saybrook Gold' is an evergreen shrub with striking color contrasts in its foliage. Its bright yellow and green needles and fan-like branches contrast with its purply-blue berries. Growing best in full sun, this tall, upright shrub can reach 4 feet in height. Pruning is optional, as young plants tend to grow nicely without it. In the garden, it adds dramatic color and texture, making it an excellent choice for accent shrubs or hedges. Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 5 – 9, it is drought tolerant and relatively easy to care for. With year-round beauty and color, this juniper will be a stunning addition to any landscape.
