Old Gold Juniper 1 Live Evergreen Shrub, 3 Gallon Pot – Juniperus × pfitzeriana ‘Old Gold’

Old Gold Juniper (Juniperus × pfitzeriana ‘Old Gold’, also listed as Juniperus chinensis ‘Old Gold’) is an ornamental evergreen conifer valued for its rich golden-yellow new growth, finely textured foliage, and compact, spreading growth habit. Its bright golden branch tips contrast with deeper green interior foliage, creating an attractive layered appearance throughout the year.

This evergreen shrub develops a dense, broadly spreading form with gently arching branches. Old Gold Juniper is similar in appearance to Gold Coast Juniper, offering colorful foliage and a naturally mounded silhouette. It is well suited for foundation plantings, evergreen borders, rock gardens, slopes, mixed shrub beds, and landscape accent plantings.

Old Gold Juniper generally performs best in full sun, which helps maintain its vibrant golden foliage. It prefers well-drained soil and adapts to a variety of soil conditions when drainage is adequate. Once established, it offers good drought tolerance and provides year-round ornamental interest in suitable climates.

Each order includes 1 live Old Gold Juniper supplied in a 3-gallon nursery container (G3).
