Hollywood Torulosa Juniper – 1 Gallon Pot

Other Names: Torulosa Juniper, Hollywood Twisted Juniper, Hollywood Juniper Tree

The Hollywood Juniper, also called Torulosa Juniper, is one of the hardiest and most attractive of the upright junipers. Maturing to maybe 15 feet tall and 8 or so feet wide in an upright twisted fashion; you’ll never find two of these plants that look the same. When left to grow natural with little or no pruning, Hollywood makes for an interesting and eye-catching focal point specimen, espalier (grown flat against a wall), or as a natural hedge or privacy screen. With some selective pruning it is an excellent candidate for a pom pom topiary tree. Exceptionally cold and heat hardy and drought tolerant, this one is a great choice for the gardener looking for unique, low maintenance plants!

Growing upright in an irregular, twisted form to 12 to 15 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, the Hollywood Juniper is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or in rows to form a natural hedge in sunny landscape borders. We often use it in design as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) on sunny walls in home foundation plantings. Also an excellent candidate for pom pom and other topiary shapes and forms. A fine addition to conifer gardens, Asian theme gardens, rock gardens, topiary gardens, oddity gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs)..

The Hollywood Juniper is exceptionally easy to grow in well-drained moist to dry soils of low to average fertility and full to mostly sun. Exceptionally low maintenance and drought tolerant when established. No pruning is ever necessary. That said, this plant can be trained into unlimited shapes and forms. A perfect candidate for pom-pom and other topiary forms.
