Overview & Description

Skyrocket Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum ‘Skyrocket’) is the narrowest of all upright junipers, prized for its extremely slender, columnar form and soft, blue-green foliage that holds its colour beautifully all year long. This low-maintenance evergreen offers exceptional architectural interest without taking up valuable horizontal space, making it a perfect choice for tight planting areas and formal landscapes.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a very narrow, columnar, upright growth habit. It is a slow to moderate-growing conifer, typically reaching a mature size of about 10 – 13 feet in height with a spread of only 30 inches.

Additional Notes

It does not have showy flowers. Hardy to Zone 3, it is drought tolerant once established and prefers moist, well-drained soil. An outstanding choice for foundation plantings, screens, narrow lanes, borders, formal gardens, and xeriscapes where the narrowest columnar form, soft blue-green foliage, and low-maintenance performance are desired.
