A somewhat narrow juniper of loose, pyramidal form to 20' tall and 10 to 12 feet wide. Striking blue foliage is held in all seasons. Heavy cone bearer; dark blue in color. Best growth and color in full sun. A good accent plant, screen, or hedge. Tolerates sheering to control height.
Grow in any soil that is well draining, including sandy, gravelly, or clay soils, but they must be well draining. Best growth in full sun. Once established, it tolerates dry soils and heat. Avoid shearing, as that will made the juniper woody and stiff; instead, prune selectively if necessary (see Guides).
