- Ultra‑slender, architectural column—typically ~30 ft. tall × ~3 ft. wide for maximum height with minimal footprint.
- Semi‑soft, blue‑green foliage on a dense, upright form—refined alternative to broader evergreens.
- Low‑maintenance and waterwise once established; tolerant of heat, drought, and deer pressure.
- Versatile: perfect for narrow privacy screens, windbreaks, or as dramatic entryway accents in full sun.
Taylor Juniper (Juniperus virginiana ‘Taylor’) delivers the tall, cypress‑like look designers love—without the width—bringing a crisp vertical line and year‑round blue‑green color to tight side yards, drives, and courtyard beds. Bred for cold hardiness and landscape durability, this Nebraska introduction thrives in full sun and a wide range of soils, establishing quickly and then needing little more than occasional deep watering to maintain its elegant, columnar silhouette.
Plant Description
Narrow, columnar eastern redcedar with semi‑soft, blue‑green sprays on a densely clothed frame. A refined, upright form provides strong structure and four‑season color with minimal pruning.
Foliage & Color
Evergreen, scale‑like foliage reads blue‑green in the landscape for a cool, modern tone; foliage remains attractive through the seasons.
Sun Requirements
Full sun (6+ hours/day) for the tightest column and best color; avoid deep shade where plants may open up.
Watering Needs
Water deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish a robust root system; once established, water when the top ~2 inches of soil become dry and avoid chronically wet sites.
Soil Requirements
Adapts to a wide range of soils—including clay, alkaline, and compacted—provided drainage is good. Intolerant of persistently soggy conditions.
Growth & Size
Moderate growth; typically matures around 30 ft. tall and ~3 ft. wide, maintaining a slim footprint ideal for narrow beds and linear plantings.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 3–9; bred and selected for dependable cold‑climate performance.
Special Features
Waterwise once established; generally deer and rabbit resistant; tolerant of coastal exposure and periodic drought; supports birds with shelter.
Landscape Uses
Space‑saving privacy screens and windbreaks, vertical punctuation for entries and gates, framing along drives or property lines, and formal repetition in modern or classic designs.
Care Instructions
Feed a balanced, slow‑release fertilizer in early spring if needed. Little to no pruning required—light touch‑ups only to maintain symmetry. Keep a 2–3 in. mulch ring (off the trunk) to moderate soil temperature and conserve moisture.
Spacing & Screening
For a fast, tight screen, plant 3–4 ft. on center; widen to 4–5 ft. where individual columns are showcased and long‑term airflow is desired.
Design Tips
Pair with roses, catmint, Russian sage, barberry, or ornamental grasses to contrast the cool blue‑green foliage; repeat at regular intervals to create rhythm and a cypress‑like allée effect.
Origin & Heritage
A Nebraska Statewide Arboretum introduction selected from an eastern redcedar sport found in Taylor, Nebraska—chosen for its exceptionally narrow, dense, upright habit.
