Taylor Juniper

Taylor Juniper typically grows 15–20 feet tall and about 3–4 feet wide. It has a narrow, upright columnar shape that makes it ideal for privacy screens and vertical accents.

Taylor Juniper has a moderate to fast growth rate, typically growing about 1–3 feet per year under ideal conditions.

Plant Taylor Juniper in full sun with well-draining soil. It performs best in open areas with plenty of sunlight and good air circulation.

For a privacy screen, space Taylor Junipers about 3–4 feet apart. This allows them to grow together while maintaining a dense, uniform look.

Taylor Juniper thrives in USDA Zones 3–9. It is extremely cold hardy and performs well in a wide range of climates, including regions with harsh winters.

Yes, Taylor Juniper is drought tolerant once established and is well-suited for low-water, low-maintenance landscapes.

Yes, Taylor Juniper is evergreen and maintains its rich green color year-round, with slight seasonal color variation possible in colder climates.

Taylor Juniper requires minimal pruning due to its naturally upright, narrow form. Light trimming can be done if needed to maintain shape or remove damaged growth.

It is normal for interior foliage to turn brown and shed over time. As the outer growth thickens, the inner foliage receives less sunlight and naturally drops. This is not a concern as long as the outer foliage remains healthy and green.

Yes, Taylor Juniper is an excellent alternative to Italian Cypress, especially in colder climates. It offers a very similar tall, narrow, columnar look but is much more cold hardy and adaptable, making it a great choice where Italian Cypress may struggle.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
