Calgary Carpet Juniper
Juniperus sapina Monna
Calgary Carpet Juniper is a low-growing, spreading evergreen shrub with an arching or weeping form in the cypress family. At maturity, the plant can reach a height of 6 to 9 inches, but it will spread 6 to 10 feet wide. The attractive foliage is soft and green and the hardy plant can tolerate heat, cold, drought and full sun. This cultivar was introduced by Monrovia Nursery in 1978 and the name, Calgary Carpet Juniper, is a registered trademark of Monrovia Nursery. Calgary Carpet Juniper does well in a wide range of medium moisture, well-drained soil types, thrives in full sun, and is easy to grow. However, it will not tolerate wet conditions. The plant will tolerate some drought, once established. It's low height, wide spread, and hardiness make it an excellent ground cover, especially for use on slopes for erosion control, along walkways, in borders or in rock gardens.

Five-star reviews from neighbors and landscapers who have shopped Garden Gate.
Amazing quality trees, incredible customer service. There is a reason Garden Gate has all 5 star reviews. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks so much for all of your help and for these beautiful trees!
This is the 3rd year we've bought trees from Garden Gate Nursery, each time we've been impressed with the knowledge, friendliness and helpfulness; even telling us, in one instance that what we need we could get somewhere else. We look forward to when they open to the public each year. We've bought 10-12 trees so far and all are doing great. We won't buy a tree anywhere else! Thank you! PS Even if I wasn't going to buy a tree, I'd still go out there every year just for the experience, it's huge and amazing!
Such a great experience and so happy we found this nursery! All of the people there were super friendly and the dogwood tree that we purchased is very healthy and beautiful! We will be going back.
Garden Gate Nursery has numerous tree species to choose from. During my visit, I couldn’t help but notice how healthy all trees looked, and how the grounds were so well kept. The staff was amazing to work with, and provided sound insight when deciding on the perfect tree for my space. I highly recommend using Garden Gate for your next tree purchase 👍😊👍
Thank you for this beautiful tree, it's a perfect fit. I am pretty sure all of our trees came from your tree nursery.
