The Blue Point Juniper is an outstanding upright evergreen, with strongly-colored blue foliage. It grows steadily, adding at least 6 inches a year, so it will soon be a striking specimen on your lawn, or part of the varied planting around your home. In hot or cold areas this tree makes an effective screen, protecting your garden from the harsh elements, or from noise and urban pollution. It has an upright habit, reaching 8 to 12 feet tall in about 10 years. but remaining only 3 to 6 feet wide. Substantial and dramatic, this tree has a rugged natural beauty if left untrimmed, or it can be trimmed into formal conical shapes for elegance and drama. It is hardy down to minus 30 degrees, yet it also thrives in the hottest states, so wherever you live you can enjoy the beauty of this plant.
The Blue Point Juniper should be planted in a sunny place for the best growth and foliage color. It thrives in any soil that is well-drained, so plant it anywhere except in wet soils. Use a little fertilizer in spring to get the best growth, but otherwise it is free of pests, diseases or any problems. If you don’t trim, this really is a tree you can ‘plant and forget’, after the initial year, when it should be watered regularly to encourage it to establish quickly. For a powerful statement in your garden, without any fuss or bother, this is the plant you want.
