Juniperus Chinensis 'Pfitzeriana Kallay Compact'

Uniper Kallay's Compact Pfitzer

Juniperus chinensis ‘Pfitzeriana Kallay Compact’ — commonly called Kallay Compact juniper — is an evergreen shrub valued for its dense compact habit and rich blue-green foliage carried on layered, slightly arching branches.
