The Oneseed Juniper (Monosperma) has a long life span relative to most other plant species and a slow growth rate. At maturity, the typical Oneseed Juniper (Monosperma) will reach up to 40 feet high, with a maximum height at 20 years of 20 feet.
The Oneseed Juniper (Monosperma) generally appears in field collections and doesn't tend to be commercially available. It can be propagated by bare root, container, seed.
