Description
Old Gold Juniper Pom Pom is a striking evergreen topiary with sculpted tiers of golden-yellow foliage perched atop bare stems—creating a bold, architectural accent in the landscape. This unique form showcases the naturally vibrant foliage of Old Gold Juniper in a playful, tidy display that works beautifully as a focal point in entryways, containers, or mixed beds. The foliage stays bright golden-green year-round in Michigan and offers excellent texture and color contrast against darker plants or evergreens.
Its pom pom structure is maintained through careful pruning but retains the low-maintenance qualities of the underlying juniper variety.
