Columnar shaped slow growing and compact conifer.

Known as the Pencil Point Juniper this grey-green prickly leaved conifer makes a great plant for evergreen displays in containers or among low borders.

With an overall height of 1m in 20 years you can rest assured that this plant will not take over your garden. Such a good variety it won an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

Easy to care for being such a slow growing conifer it is unlikely to need any pruning. After a few years there may be some brown (dead) needles within the bush. A simple brush using your hands within the branches is enough to clean it out to tidy the plant and allow air to circulate. *wear long sleeves and clothes as some people can get a rash from the prickles.

Supplied as a 4.5 litre pot grown plant which is approximately 30cm high and being at least 5 years old.

What This Plant Brings to Your Garden

RHS award holder

Won the RHS Award of Garden Merit, a mark of its steady and dependable behaviour in gardens over a great many years.

Crisp winter shape

The grey-green needled column stays dressed all winter, keeping a neat upright form when deciduous plants around it have dropped their leaves.

Room in tiny beds

Growth is so slow that it stays small for a decade or more, making it one of the few conifers suited to troughs and alpine beds.

About This Plant

A dwarf form of the common juniper native across Europe and the northern hemisphere, 'Compressa' has been grown for generations under the old name Noah's Ark. It puts on only a centimetre or two each year, building a tight grey-green spire at a pace that suits the smallest of gardens.

Pruning is almost never called for. Older plants gather brown, dead needles deep inside the column, and running your fingers gently through the branches clears them out and lets air move around the growth. During long, dry summers watch for red spider mite, which can bronze the foliage if left unchecked.
