Moonglow Juniper

Moonglow Juniper typically grows 15–20 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide at maturity, forming a narrow, pyramidal shape.

This juniper has a moderate growth rate, usually adding about 12–18 inches of growth per year under ideal conditions.

Plant in full sun with well-draining soil. Choose an open location with good airflow and enough space for its mature height and width.

Plant at least 5–6 feet away from homes, fences, or driveways to allow for mature width and proper airflow.

For a privacy screen, space trees 4–6 feet apart. For individual specimen planting, space 6–8 feet apart.

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.
