Juniperus chinensis 'Sea Green'
Light: Full sun to light shade; in Phoenix, provide good airflow and protection from intense reflected heat. Light afternoon shade can help in exposed locations.
Water: Low to moderate water once established. Water deeply, then allow the upper several inches of soil to dry; provide supplemental irrigation during prolonged Phoenix summer heat.
Soil: Well-drained sandy, gravelly, or loamy soil; tolerates alkaline conditions. Avoid persistently wet soil and poorly drained planting sites.
Mature size: Typically 4–6 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide; may grow larger with age and favorable conditions.
Bloom: Produces inconspicuous reproductive cones rather than flowers, generally in spring.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen.
Growth rate: Moderate; slower under extreme heat or limited irrigation.
