Juniperus Chinensis ‘San Jose’

San Jose Chinese Juniper

Evergreen conifer with a broad, spreading habit and slightly arching branches. It forms a dense, low-growing shrub with a wide, ground-covering spread, making it well suited for large areas and erosion control.

The foliage is composed of fine needles and scale-like leaves, creating a textured surface that is somewhat prickly to the touch. Its color is a medium to dark green, maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the year, with slightly richer tones in full sun.

Juniperus chinensis ‘San Jose’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil but tolerates a wide range of conditions, including poor, moderately dry to dry, and slightly alkaline soils. Once established, it shows high drought tolerance, strong resistance to urban pollution, and moderate tolerance to salt. It is ideal for slopes, mass plantings, and as a durable groundcover.
