A Bit More

Juniperus chinensis ‘Blue Point’ is an evergreen conifer with a dense, upright, columnar habit and featuring fragrant, silvery blue-green foliage, small, bluish, berry-like cones, and grayish-brown bark, that develops a furrowed and shredding texture with age. Uses include privacy screens, hedges, accents, topiaries, containers. Tolerant of intermountain, seacoast, and desert conditions. It has low shade tolerance; it prefers full sun to maintain its dense foliage, though it can handle very light afternoon shade in hot climates. Exceptionally adaptable to sandy, loamy, and well-drained clay soils; thrives in a wide pH range, favoring slightly acidic conditions. Moderate water use when planted; low water use once established; highly drought-resistant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -30°F.
