Juniperus chinensis pyramidalis 
(Column Chinese Juniper) 
Juniperus chinensis pyramidalis blue 
(Column Chinese Juniper) 
This introduction by the United States Department of Agriculture 
has quickly won a place in American nurseries. It was found in China 
by the late F. N. Meyer. The growth of this tree is very narrow as 
compared to Chinese Juniper. It is necessary, however, to trim it 
frequently, especially when small, in order to give it the extremely 
narrow form. There are two distinct colors in this tree, which all nur¬ 
serymen do not recognize. The blue form is the type which is favored 
by most planters, although the green form is also in good demand. 
This is a very fast growing tree, a feature which adds to its popular 
appeal. It may also be trimmed into broader and bushier specimens 
if desired.

Juniperus chinensis pyramidalis green (Column Chinese Juniper) 
The description given under the blue form applies also to the green, 
the main difference being merely one of color. When originally dis¬ 
tributed by the United States Government no distinction was made 
between these two types. Some nurseries have mixed stock.

Juniperus chinensis sargenti green (Sargent Juniper) 
This popular creeping tree was introduced to the Arnold Arboretum 
by Prof. Sargent about forty years ago. Ernest Wilson in his “Conifers 
and Taxads of Japan’’ has given it a strong recommendation as follows: 
“It has proved perfectly hardy, grows freely and its stems and branch- 
lets overlap one another in such a manner as to form neat, low, wide- 
spreading masses of green. As a ground cover this Juniper is the most 
valuable of all the known kinds.” 
It grows not more than eight to twelve inches high, but spreads out 
and creeps along the ground to a considerable distance. Because of its 
attractive green color and its thrifty and robust nature, it makes an 
outstanding tree of its type.
