JUNIPERUS CHINENSIS ‘PFITZERIANA AUREA’

Pfitzeriana Aurea Chinese Juniper

A spreading, prostrate variety of juniper, popular for its foliage that changes from golden yellow to green throughout the seasons. This evergreen conifer, with its light, airy appearance, is an excellent choice for beds, borders or as a ground cover. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires little maintenance. It is important to ensure that the roots are not kept too wet to prevent rot. A light fertilisation in spring can support its growth, although it is perfectly suited to poor soils. This juniper is hardy to harsh winters and is suitable for cold climates. Mulching around the base is recommended to protect the roots from frost during the first few years. Pruning is generally not necessary, but you can do a light pruning in spring to maintain a neat shape and remove dead or damaged branches. This will help to preserve its dense, well-structured appearance.
