Golden Pfitzer Juniper |
Description
New growth is a bright, golden yellow color; the juniper itself is fast-growing to a size of 5' tall by 10' wide. It prefers full sun in coastal areas but will benefit from afternoon shade in warm inland valleys. It is not fussy about soil as long as it has good drainage. Once established, it needs little watering.

Water Saving Tip:
Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.
One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
