‘Kaizuka’ is an irregular upright female form that is grown as a shrub or small tree to 15-30′ tall and to 10-15′ wide. Shape can vary considerably from plant to plant. It features rich, scale-like, bright green foliage clustered on upright, slightly twisted shoots. ‘Kaizuka’ was introduced in the U. S. from Japan in 1920. It quickly became a popular landscape plant in the southwestern U. S. and California. Numerous plantings in Los Angeles led to the common name of Hollywood juniper. An improper attempt was made to assign the cultivar name of ‘Torulosa’ to this plant, and some authorities may list this plant as Juniperus chinensis ‘Torulosa’ rather than by the correct, original Japanese cultivar name. Juniperus chinensis ‘Kaizuka’ TORULOSA (as a trade name) is acceptable. Foliage is attractive throughout the year.
