Juniperus chinensis Shimpaku Fudu (blue)

Juniperus chinensis ‘Shimpaku Fudu’ is a blue-toned Shimpaku selection valued for its cooler coloration and dense, fine-textured foliage. Often chosen for bonsai and collector plantings, this cultivar develops a compact, irregular habit with strong visual depth and year-round interest. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, where its blue hues are most pronounced, and grows at a controlled, deliberate rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, it remains manageable in size and is especially suited for specimen use and conifer collections.
