JUNIPERUS VIR EMERALD SENTINEL

JUNIPERUS VIR EMERALD SENTINEL
Grower Notes:

Juniperus virginiana 'Corcorcor' Emerald Sentinel™ is commonly known as Emerald Sentinel™ Juniper. It is a superior cultivar of the native Eastern Redcedar, specifically for its refined form and exceptional hardiness. Unlike other varieties, Emerald Sentinel™ boasts a dense, narrow, and upright pyramidal habit that requires little to no pruning to maintain its clean lines. Its foliage is a rich, vibrant green that holds its color consistently throughout the year with minimal winter bronzing, a common trait in other juniper cultivars. As a female clone, it produces a heavy crop of attractive, waxy, blue berries in fall and winter, which provide a valuable food source for birds and add a striking visual element to the winter landscape.

Emerald Sentinel™ is an excellent choice for a wide range of challenging landscape conditions. It thrives in full sun and is highly adaptable to various soil types and pH levels, from average to sandy or even wet sites, as long as there is no standing water. It is remarkably drought-tolerant once established and can handle urban pollution and salt spray, making it a reliable option for street-side plantings or urban gardens. Ideal as a living fence, privacy screen or a windbreak, while also serving as a beautiful vertical accent in the garden bed.
