Vonehron Juniper 
(Juniperus sabina vonehron) 
BOUT 35 years ago Mr. A. H. 
Hill found this tree while 
visiting at the Von Ehron 
Nursery, near Hamburg, Germany. 
The variety, so far as we can learn, 
was thus introduced to American 
planters through importations made 
at that time. 
The growth is vase shaped, produc- 
ing numerous branches, which are 
well clothed with dark green whip- 
cord foliage. It grows very rapidly as 
compared to most Junipers. It is not 
uncommon to find specimens reach- 
ing a height and breadth of at least 
6 feet in a few years, but it can be 
kept within bounds through frequent 
trimming. 
Spiny Greek Juniper 
(Juniperus excelsa stricta) 
TS usual habit is narrow and co- 
lumnar, having many erect 
branches and branchlets. The fo- 
liage is spiny, with sharp points and 
of a glaucous blue color. It makes an 
extremely dense growth and develops 
a formal shape, valuable in landscape 
use. It grows rather slowly, event- 
ually reaching a maximum of 5 feet, 
with a spread of perhaps 2! to 3 
feet. It can be maintained at a much 
smaller size by trimming. A dry 
sunny location seems to suit the tree 
best. 
Spiny Greek Juniper used as a group planting in Eastman Park, Rochester, New York. Creeping Junipers in foreground.

specimens are used elsewhere on the beautiful grounds of this famous institution.
