Shrubs:

* Pfitzer juniper (J. chinensis ‘Pfitzerana’) is probably the most widely planted of all junipers. It is a fast grower and often outgrows its location (5 feet high and 10 feet wide). It has feathery, gray-green, sharp needles and small berries. The sexes are separate.
* Armstrong juniper (J. chinensis ‘Armstrongii’) is an upright 4 feet by 4 feet shrub, which is more compact than Pfitzer juniper.
* Gold Coast juniper (J. chinensis ‘Gold Coast’) is a compact 3 feet by 5 feet shrub with soft, lacy, golden yellow foliage.
* Hetz Chinese juniper (J. chinensis ‘Hetzii’) grows 15 feet tall and wide with blue-gray needles and branches that spread outward and upward at 45-degree angles. This is a fast- grower.
* Hollywood juniper (J. chinensis ‘Kaizuka’) is an irregular, upright shrub, 20 feet high by 10 feet wide, which tolerates salt spray. The branches have a twisted appearance. Give this shrub plenty of room.
* Mint Julep (J. chinensis ‘Mint Julep’) has mint green foliage and is a vase-shaped shrub, which grows up to 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide.
* Blue Star juniper or J. squamata ‘Blue Star’ is a 3- by -5 feet, mound-like shrub with silver-blue foliage, which darkens in winter.

Columnar types:

* J. chinensis ‘Blue Point’ grows 7 to 8 feet and has dense, blue-green scale and needle foliage.
* J. chinensis ‘Robusta Green’ is a brilliant green, dense-tufted column up to 20 feet.
* J. chinensis ‘Spartan’ grows to 20 feet.
* J. scopulorum ‘Gray Gleam’ is a slow grower, which reaches 15 to 20 feet in 30 to 40 years and has gray-green foliage.
* J. scopulorum ‘Pathfinder’ grows to 25 feet and has gray-green foliage.
* J. scopulorum ‘Skyrocket’ is the narrowest blue-gray spire, up to 15 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide.
* J. scopulorum ‘Wichita Blue’ is a broad, silver-blue pyramid, 18 feet or taller.

Trees:

* Ozark white cedar or ashe juniper (J. ashei) grows to 20 feet. The foliage is gray-green, berries are blue, ¼ to ½ inch in diameter, with a waxy bloom on the female plants. These trees like dry, chalky soil, have a shredding gray bark and a trunk that often divides near the base. They are resistant to cedar-apple rust. The pollen of male plants may trigger allergies.
* Eastern red cedar (J. virginiana) is a native tree, which grows 40 to 50 feet high and 8 to 20 feet wide. The tree has dark green foliage that turns reddish in cold weather. The berries are pale blue-green to dark blue with silvery bloom, and the bark is reddish-brown. The tree tolerates drought and poor soil and the wood and foliage are very aromatic.
* Southern red cedar (J. silicicola) is very similar to Eastern red cedar, but often more open and wide-spreading. These trees make a good windbreak. Southern red cedar is excellent for coastal region, because of the trees tolerance to salt.
