I am not a professional landscaper, just doing this as a favor for some friends. We are in Mo (zone 5). I've looked at the Missouri Botanical Gardens website in the plantfinder section a couple of times-- there are tons of junipers listed there. They also list sizes of plants as well, but as many experienced gardeners know, sometimes plants don't live up to our size expectations (and sometimes they exceed them!).
I was just hoping that someone here might recommend a variety or two that would be suitable for what I am looking for. I'd like to find a juniper that will get pretty tall (8-10') but still maintain a modest spread (24-30") without pruning. and I definitely don't want to use arborvitae instead.
any suggestions appreciated!
