Juniperus x media 'Old Gold'
Choose Old Gold Juniper for open, dry-prone slopes, banks, and foundation beds where gold evergreen color matters. The tradeoff: it spreads wider than it looks at planting, so don’t squeeze it into a narrow strip.
Buy This If
You want gold evergreen foliage.
You need a spreading shrub.
Deer browse is a concern.
Skip This If
The bed stays wet.
You need a narrow plant.
You want flowers or berries.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The gold foliage gives strong contrast, especially against stone, mulch, and darker evergreens.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a manageable pace without becoming a fast, rangy shrub.
Maintenance
A-
Once placed with enough room, it needs little pruning beyond removing awkward tips.
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
C+
It stays low but spreads, so it is not the best fit for narrow beds.
Screening Value
D
This is a low spreading shrub, not a privacy or screening plant.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Old Gold Juniper for open beds where color and deer resistance matter more than flowers. Give it room from walks, steps, and lawn edges.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it stay gold?
Yes, but the best color comes with strong light.
Can I shear it tight?
Light shaping is fine, but heavy shearing makes junipers look unnatural.
Is it good near a driveway?
Yes, if the bed drains well and it has room to spread.
CLEARANCE
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

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!
