Zone: 5TRAUTMAN CHINESE JUNIPER
Juniperus chinensis 'Trautman' is commonly referred to as Trautman Chinese Juniper. Selected by the late Herbert Trautman, it features a tall, narrow, upright pyramidal habit with bluish-green, coarsely textured foliage. Pale green, berry-like cones turn blue-gray in fall and add to its winter interest, attracting a wide assortment of birds.
Trautman Chinese Juniper is slow-growing and thrives in full sun in average, sandy, well-drained soils. Like all Junipers, it will not tolerate standing water. It can be drought tolerant once established. Trautman Juniper is reminiscent of an elegant Italian Cypress, but is hardier, thriving in much colder climates.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to ensure the best foliage color and density. These evergreen shrubs are incredibly durable and heat-tolerant, though they require consistent water during the first season until the root system is well established; thereafter, they are notably drought-tolerant.
Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to manage size or remove dead wood, but avoid aggressive shearing that exposes the inner woody stems. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
