Common Name: Hetz Chinese Juniper
Juniperus chinensis ‘Fairview’ — commonly called Fairview Chinese juniper — is an evergreen shrub valued for its dense upright habit and rich green foliage that maintains dependable year-round color. Its strong vertical branching forms a narrow pyramidal outline, making it useful where height and evergreen structure are needed without excessive spread. Type: Evergreen shrub Mature Size: Width: 4–6 ft Height: 10–15 ft USDA Zones: 4a–8b Form: Upright, pyramidal Light: Full sun Soil: Well-drained soil; adaptable to sandy, rocky, and average garden soils Water: Low to medium; drought tolerant once established Wildlife: Provides shelter for birds; deer resistant Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for screening, foundation corners, evergreen accents, and formal plantings. Its narrow upright habit fits well in tighter spaces than broader junipers. Care: Plant in full sun for best density and color. Avoid wet soils. Minimal pruning is needed; trim lightly in early spring if shaping is desired.
