Juniperus communis 'Compressa' is a dwarf conifer that makes a low, slender column, plumping out a little with age, which improves its proportions. It's all very small scale and generally doesn't reach even 1m in height. It has very fine, light green needles that are evenly textured. This is an excellent subject to provide a vertical element in a trough. Juniper foliage has a resinous scent, especially if pressed in the hand. Plant in sheltered rockery or tub.
