Don’t plant in front of a window, as its final height will obscure it, but beside a window or doorway it makes a great low-maintenance addition to the varied sizes and colors of plants around your home. It is also excellent around your home, as part of the foundation planting, placed in a corner, or between windows. We often plant deciduous trees on lawns, but evergreen plants like this make striking lawn specimens that don’t take up a lot of room, and the blue foliage color is even more dramatic against the lush green of a lawn. Plant the Blue Point Juniper in a sunny location, where its color and foliage density will develop best. Of course, it can easily be trimmed from time to time to keep a narrower profile. When young it is narrow, and very upright, but over time it will become broader and more substantial, until its width is about two-thirds of its height. Like all conifers it will continue to grow for its whole life, so its ultimate size depends on age. It grows steadily, adding 6 to 12 inches each year, and reaching 10 to 12 feet in just 10 years. The Blue Point Juniper has proved its worth for the last 50 years, and it remains the number-one choice, with foliage of a striking silver-blue color all year round. For a reliable upright form, with excellent blue foliage color and dense growth, look no further than the Blue Point Juniper.
