Tamarix Juniper
Emerald Cedar

Tamarix Juniper has attractive, year round, blue-green foliage that will pop on a winter landscape. Not only does it provide winter interest, Tamarix Juniper is unique in that it does not “hug” the ground as one would expect. If you're looking for a shrub that is low maintenance, rabbit resistant, and tolerant of a variety of conditions, try Tamarix Juniper.

Emerald Cedar makes a great addition to landscapes, and is often used to form tight hedges or privacy screens. The thick scale-like foliage adds texture and colour to yards and is commonly used to line driveways. Unlike other cedars it retains its green colour throughout the fall and winter.

It is a semi dwarf species, which generally needs little pruning, but if desired it responds well to trimming. Its attractive, columnar shape and dense foliage makes it a desired landscape feature.

The Emerald Cedar won the award of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.
