Give your landscape strong vertical structure with Juniperus 'Blue Arrow' (Rocky Mountain Juniper 'Blue Arrow'). This narrow, upright evergreen holds dense, blue-green to silvery-blue foliage year-round, creating a crisp accent or a space-saving privacy screen where room is limited.
Plant it in full sun for best color and density, though it will tolerate part shade. Choose a well-drained site; junipers dislike wet, poorly drained soils. Once established, it handles dry periods well, making it a practical option for low-water landscapes. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots settle in, then taper to occasional deep watering as needed.
At maturity it typically reaches about 12-15 feet tall while staying slim, roughly 2-3 feet wide. Space plants to match your goal: closer for a tight screen, wider for individual columns. Little pruning is required; if you shape, do so lightly and avoid cutting back into old, bare wood. Mulch to keep weeds down and protect the root zone, but keep mulch off the trunk. With sun, drainage, and good air flow, you will have a long-lived, low-maintenance evergreen with strong year-round presence.
