About this cultivar
Juniperus chinensis 'Kaizuka', also known as Hollywood juniper, reaches 4 to 6 metres in height with a narrow, asymmetrical crown whose main branches rise twisted like flames. It is this natural form that is sought when planting a single specimen or a sequence of irregular vertical accents.
The foliage is almost entirely scale-like, dense and of a bright green that does not yellow in winter. Discreet grey-blue berries appear on mature specimens.
It withstands intense sun, wind, prolonged drought and proximity to the sea, and adapts to poor or chalky soils as long as they drain well. It needs no pruning; to accentuate the form, only the branches that close up the silhouette are removed.
