Why plant Taylor Juniper?
Sought after for its elegant and almost Romanesque look, the Taylor Juniper has a unique columnar form reminiscent of the highly sought after Italian Cypress (which isn't hardy in northern climates!). It is in a league of its own with its voluminous emerald green foliage and strong height, elevating your landscape appeal. You’ll be pleased to know this handsome plant is not high maintenance as it keeps its stunning figure all on its own. The list of benefits continues as it makes the perfect pillar for an attractive privacy screen, windbreaker, or sound barrier. One of the most versatile Junipers you can find, making a strong statement all-year-round!
The Taylor Juniper was discovered growing in the wild in Taylor, Nebraska in 1978, and was released by the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum in 1992 to the nursery trade. Known as the “Mother Tree,” it is a genetic variation of the common Red Cedar. Taylor Juniper is also a “Great Plant for the Great Plains” recipient for 2003.
How to use Taylor Juniper in the landscape?
The Taylor Juniper is a stunning and svelte addition to your landscape as a privacy screen, elegant pillars that stand tall on either side of your entryway or planted as a spire on the corner of your home. You will even make your local birds happy when adding the Taylor Juniper to your landscape, as they enjoy the blue berries that dot the branches in the spring!

How To Plant Taylor Juniper
Taylor Juniper is about as easygoing as they come. This is a plant you can count on in challenging urban situations, as it copes well with pollution and poor, dry soil. It also finds a happy home in open, windy sites in the country as it is deer resistant.
How To Water
The Taylor Juniper appreciates regular irrigation during establishment, at least once or twice a week depending on weather conditions. After a year or two, it should be quite drought tolerant.
How To Fertilize
When initially planting your Taylor Juniper, you should fertilize with the Bower & Branch Elements Starter Plant Food. After that, fertilizing in early spring each year is best! This way, your tree is getting the nutrients it needs for a healthy growing season!
How To Prune
The best time to shear your Taylor Juniper is in early spring. This can be done to control height and encourage a full growth habit.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
