Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Old Gold', commonly known as 'Old Gold' Juniper, is a popular ornamental evergreen shrub recognized for its striking golden-yellow foliage. This cultivar is a product of the species Juniperus pfitzeriana, which is often used in garden landscapes due to its aesthetic appeal and easy-care nature.

The 'Old Gold' Juniper displays a compact and spreading habit, typically reaching a height of 3 to 4 feet with a wider spread of up to 6 feet.

Its slow-growing nature, combined with its ability to tolerate a variety of soil conditions, makes it an ideal choice for a range of landscaping applications. Whether used as ground cover, border plantings, or focal points, this juniper brings color and texture to the garden throughout the year.

Moreover, Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Old Gold' is notably drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping. It requires minimal maintenance and is generally resistant to common pests and diseases, including deer, thus further enhancing its appeal to gardeners and landscape designers alike.
