Silver Juniper

The Silver Juniper is an upright, pyramidal evergreen with striking silver-blue foliage. It grows rapidly, reaching 20 to 25 feet, with a width of only 6 to 8 feet. Its slender profile looks great as an accent or lawn specimen, and this form of a native tree fits well into natural plantings, on slopes and rough ground. Yet it looks good in more formal gardens too, and it can be trimmed as needed for the neatest look. It can also be pruned and trained for a specimen in an Asian garden.

• Brilliant silver-blue foliage
• Upright, pyramidal form
• Produces clusters of blue berries in fall
• Very durable in both cold and heat
• Ideal for dry conditions and shallow soil

Full sun is best for the Silver Juniper, as that will keep its leaves very silvery. This tree grows well in any well-drained soil, and it tolerates dry, shallow soils, sands, rocks and alkaline soils too. It grows anywhere across the country, in every state , and it is untroubled by pests or diseases, deer, salt or high winds.
