Juniper c. Blue Point is a favorite evergreen for stately lawn specimens and tall screens. It is densely branched and grows in a broad pyramid form with blue-green foliage. Blue Point maintains form well with practically no need for trimming. Juniper c. Blue Point is very hardy fast growing and withstands drought & windy conditions better than most upright junipers. It makes a good choice for privacy borders and wind screens as well as for accents in the garden. Blue Point retains excellent color through the winter. It prefers slightly acidic well drained soil and will grow in full sun to part shade.
