Upright, Pyramidal Evergreen for Year-Round Interest
With its upright, architectural shape and dense, bright green foliage, the Hetzii Columnar Juniper Tree brings year-round structure to landscapes of all styles. Plant in neat rows as a windbreak or grow naturally as a statement piece.
This evergreen is easy to care for and thrives with minimal effort. Well-suited for harsh environments, Hetzii is deer, drought, and salt tolerant. It also performs well in large containers, adding vertical interest to patios or entryways.
The Hetzii Columnar Juniper Tree is a favorite for hedges, privacy screens, or formal topiary designs, thanks to its strong pyramidal form and sculptable nature. Its narrow form is especially useful for tight spaces or creating long garden borders. Plant several in a row to create a living fence, or use a pair to frame doors or garden gates.
With its classic form, resilience, and adaptability, the Hetzii Columnar Juniper Tree is a go-to tough, low-maintenance evergreen for your backyard. Grow yours today!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Gently loosen the roots, place the tree in the hole, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch to retain soil moisture.
2. Watering: During the first growing season, water regularly to help the plant establish a strong root system. Once established, Hetzii is highly drought-tolerant and will only need occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells. Avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to remain soggy.
3. Fertilizing: Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for evergreens. Fertilizing once per year is usually sufficient.
4. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required to maintain its natural columnar shape. If desired, lightly prune in early spring before new growth appears to shape or remove any damaged or wayward branches. The Hetzii can also be trained into topiary forms with regular shaping.
