Full Description

The Hibernica is a compact and dense shrub that grows to a height of 4 metres and spreads to a width of 1/2 metre. The foliage takes on a purplish-blue hue in the Winter months, adding even more interest to the landscape.

The juniper tree is one of Britain’s native conifers. Used in ancient Egypt for helping to make oil from the leaves to mummify the bodies of their dead. In medieval Europe the branches of the juniper where burnt to keep away evil, however, today the berries are used to flavour gin.  The Juniper Juniperus Hibernica is also known as Irish Juniper is drought tolerant .
