Little Spire Juniper - Juniperus communis ‘Little Spire’
Narrow columnar conifers do a job almost nothing else does: a vertical green line under a metre wide that holds its shape all year, needs no clipping, and shrugs off cold, wind and drought. This is a compact upright selection of Juniperus communis, carrying fine prickly blue green needles tight against the stem on a slow growing, self supporting column. It stays small enough to use in a courtyard or a large pot.
Why Little Spire Juniper
Narrow Column: The habit is naturally upright and tight, giving a strong vertical accent in a very small footprint.
Slow Growth: It takes many years to reach full height, so a formal composition stays in proportion for a long time.
Cold Hardiness: Junipers of this species are among the toughest conifers in frost, snow and exposed tableland conditions.
Dry Tolerance: Established plants survive on rainfall alone in most temperate districts.
No Clipping Needed: The shape holds itself, so maintenance amounts to removing an occasional wayward shoot.
Ideal Applications
Formal accent pairs: Matched plants either side of steps or a gate give structure without bulk.
Rhythm along a path: Repeated at regular intervals it draws the eye down a line of planting.
Rock and gravel gardens: The fine texture and drought tolerance suit stony, free draining compositions.
Containers: It is well suited to long term pot culture in a gritty mix on a sunny terrace.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 0.6 to 0.9m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 1.5 to 2m
Best Planting Season: Autumn and early spring
Soil & Drainage: Gritty and free draining, tolerating poor, dry and alkaline soils; it dislikes humid, heavy, wet ground
Establishment Care: Water every fortnight through the first summer and then only during long dry spells. Avoid overhead watering and crowding, since still humid air within the foliage encourages the fungal dieback that disfigures junipers in warm coastal gardens.
