Description

The Hollywood Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Torulosa') is a branching Chinese Juniper that makes a great accent for formal gardens, topiary specimens, and artistic landscapes! This evergreen tree has a twisting/irregular upright growth habit with dense dark green foliage. This is a great plant for fans of low-maintenance landscapes, especially those with Asian/Zen, Contemporary, or Mediterranean themes.

Need a privacy screen? This is a perfect choice thanks to its dense foliage and fast-growing nature. It quickly matures to 12-15' H x 8-10' W and it does an excellent job of blocking out noise, wind, and prying eyes.

This is a tough specimen that handles heat and cold, as well as drought. After it gets situated in your landscape, this is certainly one of the hardiest ornamental trees around.

Hollywood Juniper Care

This a cold-hardy variety that grows in much of the United States. It's hardy from USDA Zones 5-9 once established.

This tree grows best in Full Sun exposure. This allows for optimal foliage density and growth.

It performs well in average quality soil with good drainage. Soil type is generally only an issue when it drains poorly.

Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season to help promote deep root growth.

How to Plant the Hollywood Juniper

First, find a suitable location for your Juniper based on the care requirements listed above. Then, dig a hole three times the width of your plant's root ball (the clump of roots and dirt at the base of your plant). This allows the roots to spread out more easily. This part is optional, but we recommend mixing your native soil with rich gardening soil or composted manure to provide extra nutrients. Next, backfill the hole with the soil mixture and lay 3-4 inches of mulch around the base of your plant to help retain moisture. Lastly, soak the plant with the hose afterward to hydrate it as well as help the soil and mulch get situated.

Recommended Companion Plants for Hollywood Junipers

This tree pairs well with a wide range of plants. Going for more of a formal landscape? Plant it with naturally rounded Boxwoods, like the Baby Gem Boxwood. Use them as round evergreen elements in the landscape to contrast with Hollywood Juniper's tall and pointed foliage. Otherwise, try planting it with some reblooming roses for reliable pops of color.

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Review your plant's information on our website or the tag that comes with it. Be mindful of sunlight preferences, soil type, and spacing needs.

Our plants are adaptable but grow best in the correct USDA Zones. Click here to learn more about your USDA Zone.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Spacing Your Trees

Space your Torulosa Juniper 4-5 feet apart for a privacy screen planting. You can also plant them 6-7 feet apart diagonally with a zig-zag pattern to get screen coverage even more quickly. Otherwise,
plant them 10+ feet apart to leave space between shrubs.
