Tam Juniper
Juniperus sabina Tamariscifolia
This is a low, spreading, evergreen conifer with layered, horizontal branches and crowded branchlets which form a mounded growth habit. Sharp-tipped, scale-like bluish-green leaves spread outwards with awl-shaped needles on older branches. It’s tolerance of city pollution makes it one of the best evergreens for hot, poor, dry soils in city conditions. Although it’s susceptible to leaf blight, its slow growth rate and wide range of soil tolerance make it a low maintenance choice.

Garden Care:
Its slow growth rate means that no routine pruning is required. Keep well watered during the first growing season to ensure it establishes a deep, extensive root system. It’s also beneficial to apply a multi-purpose, liquid fertiliser in spring to encourage fresh foliage to develop during the growing season.
