Q.Juniperus Conferta Root Systems
I am searching for a hardy cascading plant to cover north facing rendered brick wall and am considering Juniperus Conferta. The garden bed is approximately 4 meters by 1.1 meter which will also have several Gracilis Slender Weavers bamboo plants. My concern is compatibility of these plants. My desire is to have the Juniper cascade down the wall rather than spread uncontrollably in the garden. Access for maintenance will be difficult once the bamboo is established. Am I expecting too much? Do you have any alternative suggestions? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. t

Dwarf bamboo is actually cited as a good companion for juniper in the article below. Just be sure whatever you choose has the same growing requirements.
