Common Name: Shore Juniper or Japanese Garden Juniper

Juniperus conferta, also known as Shore Juniper or Japanese Garden Juniper, is a compact and evergreen shrub that is prized for its ground-hugging growth habit. Originating from Japan, it makes an excellent ground cover or erosion controller due to its dark green needle-like foliage and ability to withstand coastal conditions. This pest and disease-resistant juniper adapts well to various soil types and thrives in full sun to partial shade.
