African Juniper

African juniper

African Juniper, scientifically known as Juniperus procera, is a majestic and resilient evergreen tree native to the highlands of East Africa. This impressive tree is valued for its tall, slender form and dense, aromatic foliage. African Juniper typically grows to heights of 30 to 60 feet, with a conical shape and scale-like leaves that range from green to bluish-green. It produces small, berry-like cones that add visual interest. The tree thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade. It is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, requiring minimal care once established, making it suitable for a variety of landscapes. African Juniper is commonly used in reforestation projects and as an ornamental tree in gardens and parks. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer a selection of high-quality African Juniper trees, perfect for adding grandeur and a touch of evergreen beauty to your outdoor space.
