The Most Popular Juniper

Why Spartan Junipers?

The tough yet attractive, upright-growing Spartan Juniper is a fast-growing, highly durable evergreen. In fact, it's now considered by most growers to be the most popular upright juniper on the market.

Plus, the Spartan’s fantastic tolerance to heat, cold, drought, and salt make it one of the hardiest junipers you can find. That means it’s extremely easy to grow, no matter where you live, especially since it thrives in virtually all soil types.

And it grows in a columnar shape with very dense branches, making it a good selection for those desiring a privacy hedge or wind barrier. So, whether you plant it along streets, fences or even as a standalone, it thrives without effort.

Excellent

I had an excellent experience with their customer service! Before buying 25 Spartan Junipers, I called with a few questions, and they were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I placed two separate orders; the first batch of 20, 19 arrived well-packed and mostly in great shape, though one tree was unfortunately broken. I contacted them with a photo, and they sent a replacement with my second order. ​In the second shipment, one tree was broken again, but I decided not to call it in this time. I just planted it in a spot where I didn't need as much privacy. Overall, I’m very happy with the trees. I ordered the 3-4 ft. size, and while they were all 3 ft mark, they look healthy and green. I’m looking forward to seeing them grow and will be posting yearly updates on their progress!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThank you, Debo! Twenty five Spartan Junipers is quite an undertaking and your photos show they are off to a wonderful start. We're sorry about the broken trees in each shipment and we're glad our team was able to get a replacement out to you quickly the first time. Please don't hesitate to reach out about the second one as we would love to make that right for you too. We're so excited for your yearly updates and can't wait to watch that privacy screen grow!

Spartan Juniper trees

Very happy with the trees. They arrived in great condition! They’re planted and eager to see them grow!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThank you, Walter! Spartan Junipers are such elegant and low maintenance trees and yours look healthy and right at home along that fence line. That poolside bed is going to be stunning once they reach their full height. We hope they grow quickly and beautifully for you!

Six months later

Trees are doing well and starting to grow after six months in the ground. I was worried about one tree because the root ball got beat up pretty bad in shipping but It seems to have recovered just fine. Love the trees!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Warren, we’re sorry the root ball was a bit beat up during shipping. We’ll be sure to share that feedback with the carrier. Thank you for giving it a chance, and we’re glad it’s recovered. Please reach out anytime if you need support.
