Juniperus chinensis 'Hetzii Columnaris'
Choose Hetz Columnaris when you want a fuller, faster green screen and have the width for it; the tradeoff is that it grows broader than Spartan or Trautman, so it is not the pick for a tight side yard.
Buy This If
You want a fuller screen.
You want bright green color.
You have 5+ ft of width.
Skip This If
Your space is narrow.
Your soil stays wet.
You want blue foliage.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
A clean, bright green pyramid that reads well as a hedge, though not as distinctive as a blue juniper.
Growth Rate
A-
It fills in quickly for an upright juniper, which shortens the wait for privacy.
Maintenance
A-
It keeps its form with light shaping at most, provided drainage is good.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
B-
At 5-8 ft wide it needs real room; choose Spartan or Trautman for tight spots.
Screening Value
A
Its width and density make one of the fullest juniper screens we offer.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd recommend Hetz Columnaris for customers who have the width and want a bright green wall sooner; where space is under about 5 ft, we would point you to a narrower juniper.

Customers Usually Ask
How wide does Hetz Columnaris get?
Plan on 5-8 ft wide at maturity.
How far apart should I plant it?
About 4 ft on center gives a solid screen.
Is it faster than Spartan?
They are comparable; Hetz fills in wider, which closes a screen sooner.

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!
