Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket' makes a very narrow column of blue-green foliage that can achieve a height of 4m yet just 50cm across. Best planted it in a sheltered, shady site to encourage its leanness. The needles are pressed close against the branches, giving vertically held, whippy looking sprays that, on close inspection, can appear rather coarse looking. It is the narrowest, most 'pencil like' of all columnar conifers, making it very useful for landscape people.
All of our conifers are grown in the UK to the highest standard. Every order comes complete with planting instructions and a guide to looking after your purchase.
Please allow up to 5-7 working days delivery time on any orders containing conifers.
