‘Woodward’ Juniper
Juniperus scopulorum ‘Woodward’
12–20 feet tall x 2–4 feet wide
Columnar shape
Zone 3
Full Sun
Woodward Juniper is an elegant columnar selection of the native Rocky Mountain Juniper. It will maintain a strong, uniform composure despite high winds or heavy snows. Very tidy growth habit; no pruning required. While it can be used as a screen or windbreak, the statuesque appearance tends to contribute a formal look which might tastefully accentuate your home landscape or business front. Check out the photos of three gorgeous specimens gracing the front of Black Orchid Beauty Salon in Casper, and another three near the fairgrounds in Casper.
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
