Common Name: Juniper Pencil Point
A very impressive upright evergreen shrub reaching 6 ft tall and spreading to 1 foot wide. It features verdant, prickly, blue-green needle-like foliage that stands out in the crowd. Bright color is intensified by cool winter temperatures but best grows in dry, well-drained soil in full sun exposure. Female plant bears berry-shaped cones turn bluish tone if pollinated. Male cultivar produces diminutive, unremarkable cones resembling catkins that produce pollen. It can be used as shrub borders and rock garden.
