Ornamental Features: Gently arching branches. The combination of vibrant foliage and colorful blooms creates a dynamic, multi-season interest. An excellent choice for those looking to add both color and texture to their landscape, as well as adding winter interest. Though junipers are known for their small, berry-like cones, the Gold Star Juniper typically produces inconspicuous, small blue-green cones that add a touch of interest during the fall and winter months.
Pruning is not usually necessary, but you can trim back any wayward growth to maintain the desired shape and size. It’s best to prune in early spring before new growth begins.
