Juniperus virginiana 'Burkii'
Choose Burk’s Juniper when you want a fuller upright evergreen screen with blue-green color and tough dry-site tolerance; the tradeoff is width, so it needs more room than pencil-type junipers.
Buy This If
You want a fuller juniper screen.
Your site is dry and sunny.
You prefer natural evergreen shape.
Skip This If
You need a very narrow evergreen.
Your soil stays wet.
You want fast fill-in.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
It gives strong evergreen mass and blue-green color without looking as rigid as very narrow junipers.
Growth Rate
B
Growth is steady, but it is not the fastest route to a filled-in screen.
Maintenance
A-
Once established, it asks for little beyond smart spacing and occasional cleanup pruning.
Deer Resistance
A-
This is a good pick where deer browsing is a concern, though no plant should be treated as immune.
Small Space Fit
C
Its fuller habit is useful for screening but a poor match for tight beds or narrow walkways.
Screening Value
A-
It is one of the better junipers for privacy where you have enough room for its broad shape.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Burk’s Juniper for sunny privacy rows where arborvitae feels too soft or narrow junipers feel too thin. Give it room from the start.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
