Juniperus communis Hibernica

Juniperus communis Hibernica, also known as Irish Juniper, is a lovely small conifer which is perfect for small gardens and restricted spaces; it won the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2002 and was introduced in the late 1830’s.

This conifer has grey green scale like needles for foliage and produces a slender, dense crown as it matures, giving it a flame shape appearance.

Irish Juniper is an interesting architectural conifer can be planted as part of rockeries and borders and a good feature specimen where space is restricted.
