Common Name: Hetz Chinese Juniper
Juniperus chinensis ‘Fairview’ — commonly called Fairview Chinese juniper — is an evergreen shrub valued for its dense upright habit and rich green foliage that maintains dependable year-round color. Its strong vertical branching forms a narrow pyramidal outline, making it useful where height and evergreen structure are needed without excessive spread.
