Family: Cupressaceae

Chinese juniper is a conical tree with a dense, uptight crown. It is incredibly adaptable. Chinese juniper can be a large tree of 60 feet or a shrub (as long as it gets regular trimming and shaping.) It grows almost everywhere In Hawaii, from sea level to high on the mountain. It is wind, salt, and drought tolerant. This tree will even thrive in the shade. It drops no leaf litter, the roots are unobtrusive, and it’s low maintenance.
