Skyrocket Juniper
Juniperus scopulorum ‘Skyrocket’

Its exceptionally slender, blue-gray form provides a strong vertical accent without consuming horizontal space. Perfect for flanking entries, lining driveways, or adding structural punctuation in small gardens, it requires virtually no pruning and offers year-round color and form with exceptional drought tolerance.
