Juniperus virginiana Taylor

Juniperus virginiana ‘Taylor’ is a narrow, columnar selection of Eastern Red Cedar known for its dense, upright habit and rich, blue-green foliage. Unlike the broad or irregular forms of the species, this cultivar maintains a clean, vertical profile, making it ideal for hedges, screens, or formal landscapes.

Its slow, steady growth ensures a refined, sculptural presence over time, while the fine-textured needles provide year-round color and subtle seasonal variation. Hardy and adaptable, ‘Taylor’ thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and tolerates a range of soil types, including clay and rocky conditions. This cultivar is valued for its architectural form, evergreen durability, and ease of integration into both contemporary and traditional garden designs. 20′ tall x 3′ wide when mature.
