The Blue Chip Juniper Tree is a unique form of creeping juniper that cascades down in waves of blue foliage from a short trunk. The branches flow downwards, but the tips turn up, giving a special look to this lovely tree and making it ideal as a gift for anyone. This tree is very hardy in both cold and hot conditions and will grow anywhere, so no matter where you want to send this plant, it will thrive. The healthy, steely-blue foliage will retain its color all year round, never turning green, and the more sun it receives the richer the color will be and the happier the tree will be too. Over time it will develop into a small tree about 4 feet tall, sweeping widely up to 6 feet, but it can easily be trimmed to keep it smaller if needed.
This tree will thrive in sandy and rocky soil, tolerate all conditions from sea-shore to high-desert and inner-city pollution, thrive in heat and dryness, and yet survive snow, ice and freezing temperatures. It looks charming in any garden, or even in a pot on a terrace and can be used with other suitable plants to give an easy Asian feel to any area. If you want to give a gift tree that is both unique and easy to care for, the Blue Chip Juniper Tree is an ideal choice.
