Juniperus Skyrocket

Juniperus scopulorum Skyrocket, commonly known as Rocky Mountain Juniper, is a narrow-growing, columnar conifer with striking blue-grey foliage. This evergreen shrub or small tree is highly valued in landscaping for its unique, tall, and narrow pyramidal shape, which remains constant throughout the year. It is an excellent choice for use as a screen, windbreak, vertical accent, or focal point in a mixed border.

Skyrocket Juniper thrives in full sun and requires well-draining soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and rarely needs pruning, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners. This conifer can adapt to a variety of soil types, including sandy and clay soils, demonstrating its versatility and resilience.

Reaching a height of 4 to 5 metres and a width of 80 cm to 1.2 metres, Juniperus scopulorum Skyrocket is perfect for narrow spaces. It can be used to create a dramatic entrance when planted in pairs, or in formal settings and courtyards. Its dense, needle-like blue-grey foliage provides year-round interest and adds a touch of elegance to any garden.
