A unique and rare Siskiyou endemic, Jack’s Juniper grows only on ultramafic rocks in higher elevations of the Siskiyou Mountains, and also reportedly in a few places in the Cascades. It creates a beautiful slithering silvery ground cover that is absolutely breathtaking when covered in mountain mist and complements the manzanitas of the chapparal “overstory” perfectly. This is a very slow grower and should be given very sharp drainage, but has so far been amenable to nursery potting media, though a good bit of iron and magnesium once it’s planted in the ground should help it adapt to life outside of the mountains.
