Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone' / Gold Cone Common juniper
Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone' is an narrow, upright, bright-yellow selection of Common juniper that retains its golden color throughout the year. It's branching while quite tight, is somewhat looser than that of the similar cultivar, Juniperus communis 'Compressa' but is still a very nice golden alternative for use in full sun. After10 years, a mature specimen will measure 8 feet (2.5 m) tall and 2 feet (60 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 8 to 10 inches (20 - 25 cm).
This cultivar originated in Germany around 1980 and introduced to the nursery trade by Heinrich Kordes Nursery , Bilsen Germany. It is very similar is color and structure to J. communis 'Suecica Aurea,' the major difference being that 'Suecica Aurea' will flush bright gold in spring and later fade to green, while 'Gold Cone' is gold all year.
