Overview

The Tam Juniper (Juniperus sabina 'Tamariscifolia') is a low-growing, spreading evergreen, typically reaching 1-2 feet in height with a 10-15 feet spread. Its dense, fine-textured foliage, tinged with blue-green needles, provides year-round interest. Hardy in zones 4-8, it thrives in full sun, tolerates a range of soils and is drought-resistant once established. Ideal for ground cover and erosion control, it requires minimal maintenance.
