Description

Buffalo Juniper is a wide-spreading, low-growing, very hardy sub-shrub with bright green foliage. It presents a softer, feathery look than most junipers and is an excellent ground cover. Like most junipers, it grows best in full sun and well drained soil. This shrub is great for erosion control. It tolerates heat.
