This juniper variety has scale-like leaves that are arranged in overlapping layers, giving it a unique texture. The foliage has a blue-green color that adds visual interest to the landscape. It is an evergreen plant, meaning it retains its foliage year-round.
The Blue Point Juniper is known for its tolerance to a variety of growing conditions. It can thrive in full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to different soil types, including sandy or clay soils. It is also relatively drought-tolerant once established.
