Skybound Cedar

Medora Juniper has an upright, narrow growth habit that makes it well suited as either an accent shrub or as a privacy hedge or screen. It is a compact, pyramidal evergreen shrub with blue-green foliage that lasts year round.

It is low maintenance, drought tolerant, and deer resistant. Medora Juniper is known for holding its form well without pruning. If pruning is desired it is best done in late winter after the threat of extreme cold has passed.

The Skybound Cedar is a newer variety that is usually hardier than the Brandon Cedar and richer in color. The dark green, scale-like foliage maintain their needles and color throughout the winter.

Cedars enjoy average to moist soil conditions and should not be allowed to dry out. It's small size, spread and columnar shape make the Skybound Cedar an excellent accent tree or border hedge that can be expected to live up to 50 years under ideal conditions.
