Juniperus chinensis Chinese Juniper

This tree was photographed on Northeastern University's arboretum near Gainsborough garage. As you can see, the leaves are still a dark green color and the bark is flakey

Basic Facts

This evergreen tree is native to Asia with a cold hardiness zone of 4 to 9. It can grow from 40 to 50 feet and has a spread of 15 to 20 feet. On mature stem, the bark peels in strips. The tree requires full sun, medium water and well-drained soil. It is also tolerant to a wide variety of soils including clay but is intolerant of wet soils. You can also expect to see this in urban settings being that it is tolerant of many city air pollutants.

Design

This tree can be seen in it's conical tree form or a shrubby form. Because it is an evergreen tree, it is a winter interest and can be used as an ornamental tree that keeps color in the space year round. Depending on the form you use to design with, this tree can also be a ground cover. However, keep in mind that these trees produce cone that can fall and add litter to the space.

Bird Attraction

The cones that are produced on these trees are waxy and berry-like. They only grow on a pollinated female tree. These cones are an attraction to birds because these are a source of food for them. The birds most commonly attracted to this tree are songbirds.

Norio Tomida wanted to spend hanami in Finland and raised funds for 152 cherry trees - now everyone wants a photo of themselves in their shade.

Cherry petals .. [1 / 2]

We know spring has arrived in New England when we see dense cherry petals covering the ground. Stoneham, MA.

I constantly find it odd how a little bit of zoom makes such a big difference to the character and focus of what is in the shot. Cf. the next one, where the petals are about twice as big. Here, what one notices is the overall texture of the heap, whereas there one can almost feel the thick smoothness of the individual petal.

Would Rainbow Raritearon and Sargentii Baccatii get along? Since Sargentii's looking for inspiration and Rainbow would help along with the colors!

Absolutely!
