Taylor Juniper

Choose Taylor Juniper if you need a tight, upright evergreen screen or formal column where width is the problem. The tradeoff: it wants clean siting and open exposure; it is not the soft, broad privacy wall some yards need.

Buy This If

• You need height without width.
• You like a formal column.
• Your site runs dry.

Skip This If

• You want a rounded evergreen.
• The area stays wet.
• You need a broad hedge.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	Its tight column gives strong structure without taking over the bed.
Growth Rate	B+	It fills in faster than many narrow evergreens, but patience still matters for a finished screen.
Maintenance	A-	Regular shearing is usually unnecessary, though occasional correction keeps the column clean.
Deer Resistance	B+	Juniper is usually a safer bet around browsing than many arborvitae, but hungry deer can still sample almost anything.
Small Space Fit	A	The narrow habit works where wider evergreens would crowd walks, drives, or foundations.
Screening Value	B+	It works well for tight screening, but it will not block views like a broad evergreen wall.

Customers Usually Ask

Will it stay narrow?

Yes, that is the main reason to buy it, but do not crowd it against siding or railings.

Can it make privacy?

Yes, for a tight screen; choose something broader if you need a solid wall fast.

Will deer eat it?

It has good deer resistance for our area, but hungry deer can sample almost anything.
