The following discussion of junipers is not intended to be a complete enumeration of all known names and cultivars. It is intended to supplement and correct many of the well known conifer references cited under literature below. The focus of this document, like our society, is on the description of new cultivars and a clarification of information on rare and widely confused taxa. Additions and corrections are welcome and all will be considered for publication.

Individuals actively interested in Juniperus are encouraged to join the NOS and our JUNIPERUS STUDY GROUP which contributes information to this document.

'Kuriwao Gold' - click to enlarge
Conifer Collection, Greensboro Arboretum, NC. Spring 2003. The purpose of this website is to show the good, the bad, and the ugly. This is the last two at least in many climates. It is far less gold than the best new cultivars and the habit is hard to manage. I suppose it could make a nice hedge but there are so many better choices.

'Kuriwao Gold' - click image

Juniperus x media 'Kuriwao Gold'

lt: used to produce numerous compact selections over the years.
ns: it was spelled 'Pfitzerana' for some years until it was decided that the original "i" belonged after all.
ns: it was a debate among botanical Latin scholars for some time. The RHS considers it a hybrid
ns: species, J. x pfiteriana (see below) but this is a dubious name change.

Juniperus x media Pfitzeriana Compact Group ('Pfitzeriana Compacta')

lt: this name is used for numerous clonal selectons of 'Pfitzeriana' which are smaller and made out
lt: of juvenile, needle-like foliage from 60-90% of the mass.
ns: it does not always prove stable in the amount of foliage type and so no distinct "original clone" can
ns: be isolated and started as a standard. Thus a cultivar group is best used.
eval: modern clones like 'Nick's Compact' and 'Fruitland' are more attactive.
