Juniperus Semiglobosa Subsp. Talassica

Juniperus semiglobosa subsp. talassica is a rare and hardy evergreen shrub native to the arid regions of Central Asia. It is known for its distinctive blue-gray foliage and small, cone-like fruits that mature in the second year. This subspecies thrives in rocky and well-drained soils, making it well-suited for xeriscaping and drought-tolerant gardens. Its compact growth habit and ornamental value make it a desirable plant for both landscape design and ecological restoration. Despite its resilience, it remains a relatively obscure species among horticultural enthusiasts.
