About this plant
Juniperus scopulorum 'Blue Arrow' is a superb choice for gardeners seeking a plant with a distinctly columnar form and brilliant color. Its dense, ascending branches maintain a compact, pencil-like silhouette, making it an excellent specimen for tight spaces, formal gardens, or as an appealing focal point. The steel-blue needles provide year-round interest and a sophisticated backdrop for other plantings. This hardy conifer is also remarkably versatile, thriving in a range of conditions and requiring minimal maintenance once established. Ideal for creating vertical interest, screening, or as a striking architectural element, 'Blue Arrow' offers premium aesthetics and resilience.
Care & maintenance
Generally low-maintenance. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain desired shape, if necessary. Avoid heavy pruning which can damage its natural form. Ensure good air circulation to reduce the risk of fungal issues.
