They are very ornamental, mostly of pyramidal or columnar habit and are very decorative either as single specimens on the lawn or if planted in groups. The low growing species are admirably adapted for covering rocky slopes or sandy banks. They are well adapted for hedges, for planting as shelter or wind breaks; also for seaside planting.

It is the handsomest of all varieties of Juniper communis. Junipems Bermudiana. "Bermuda Juniper."
