Description

The Skyrocket Juniper is the ultimate ultra-narrow, pencil-like column for tight spaces. 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.

The narrowest of the columnar junipers, resembling a blue-gray exclamation point in the landscape.
Foliage is silvery-blue to blue-green, providing excellent color contrast.
Grows in an extremely tight, fastigiate column that is self-maintaining.
Ideal for small spaces, formal alleys, framing entrances, or as a vertical element in mixed borders.
Very drought and heat tolerant once established.
A clean, architectural plant that adds height without bulk.

Faqs

Q: How do I prevent it from splaying open or bending?
A: Heavy snow or ice can weigh down and splay the branches. Gently brush off accumulating snow. In areas with regular heavy snow, consider loosely tying the column with horticultural tape for the winter. Plant in full sun to ensure the densest, strongest growth.

Q: How is it different from 'Spartan'?
A: 'Skyrocket' is much narrower (2-3 ft wide), has bluer foliage, and a more rigidly columnar habit. 'Spartan' is wider (4-5 ft), has deep green foliage, and a slightly more pyramidal shape.Choose 'Skyrocket' for extreme narrowness; choose 'Spartan' for a fuller, faster screen.
