Juniperus squamata ‘Prostrata’ is an evergreen conifer with a distinctive broadly pyramidal form and gently semi-weeping habit. Its pendulous branch tips give the plant a graceful appearance, while the fine needle-like foliage provides year-round texture and structure.
Native to China, this unusual juniper is an attractive choice for specimen planting, conifer collections, and gardens where an architectural evergreen form is desired. It is hardy to approximately USDA Zone 7 and develops attractive dark seed cones when mature.
