Chinese Jupiter 'Saybrook Gold'

Saybrook Gold Chinese juniper is native to northeast Asia. It is a small shrub that only grows 2 to 3 feet tall, but can spread up to 6 feet wide. Saybrook Gold gets its name because it has strong, yellow needle-like evergreen foliage. It will hold on to this color throughout the winter, making it a popular landscape shrub. More than 100 different types of Chinese juniper are grown throughout the world.
