Juniperus scopulorum ‘Blue Arrow’ is an evergreen conifer shrub with a strongly upright and columnar habit and featuring brilliant blue-green to silvery-blue foliage that retains its color through the winter. Uses include narrow privacy screens and windbreaks, framing entrances, focal points, containers. Excellent in intermountain and seacoast landscapes. Tolerant of desert conditions if given occasional deep watering. Medium water use when installed and acclimating; highly drought resistant once established. Best growth with occasional deep watering only during prolonged dry spells. It requires full sun. Planted in partial shade will cause it to thin out and lose its bright blue color. Extremely tolerant of soil conditions. It thrives in chalk, loam, sand, or heavy clay. It tolerates acidic to highly alkaline pH. Excellent drainage is the only mandatory soil requirement. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -20°F.
