Taylor Juniper

Taylor JuniperA narrow, silver green column of native evergreen that screens like a wall while taking up almost no ground space. Taylor Juniper (Juniperus virginiana 'Taylor') is a strikingly upright selection of our native Eastern red cedar, prized for its tight, fastigiate habit and soft silvery green to blue green foliage. It holds its dense, feathery texture top to bottom year round and grows at a steady, moderate pace to a mature 15 20 ft. tall and 20 25 ft.

Taylor Juniper (Juniperus virginiana 'Taylor') is a strikingly upright selection of our native Eastern red cedar, prized for its tight, fastigiate habit and soft silvery-green to blue-green foliage. It holds its dense, feathery texture top to bottom year-round and grows at a steady, moderate pace to a mature 15-20 ft. tall and 20-25 ft. wide, though it is typically kept far narrower in a hedge. Its tall, slender form makes it a natural choice for tight privacy screens, formal vertical accents, and windbreaks where a wide-spreading tree simply won't fit.

Why growers choose the Taylor Juniper

• Narrow, space-saving habit. Its tightly upright, column-like form delivers height and screening without sprawling into walkways, driveways, or property lines.
• Year-round evergreen cover. Dense silvery-green foliage stays full and colorful through every season, with no bare gaps in winter.
• Genuinely tough and deer-resistant. As a juniper, it shrugs off browsing deer far better than arborvitae, and once established it handles heat, drought, and poor soils with ease.
• Wide cold-hardiness. Reliably evergreen across zones 3-9, standing up to harsh winters and hot summers alike.
• Low maintenance. It naturally holds its slim shape, so it needs little to no pruning to look tidy.

Planted in a single row, Taylor Junipers form a quick, formal privacy hedge or vertical screen along a fence line or property edge. They also stand beautifully on their own as a vertical specimen, flanking an entry, or set in a windbreak row across an exposed lot.
