Blue Point Juniper Live Plant – 3 Gallon – Evergreen Shrub Tree – Blue Green Foliage

The Blue Point Juniper Live Plant (Juniperus chinensis ‘Blue Point’) is a superb choice for adding structure and evergreen beauty to any landscape. This hardy, fast-growing upright juniper is known for its naturally pyramidal, columnar growth habit, creating a strong vertical accent. With extremely dense branching and attractive blue-green foliage, the Blue Point Juniper provides year-round visual interest and increases property value. It’s an excellent conifer specimen that is pre-trimmed and can be grown in the two-ball topiary style.

Benefits: This evergreen adds a whimsical feel to the garden or landscape. The blue-green foliage of this topiary holds up well even during the coldest of winters. Blue points are the easiest of all evergreens to keep trimmed into shapes due to the slow overall growth rate. Generally one pruning a year will keep the tree in its topiary form. Prefers full sun and does very well planted in pots at doorways or on porches, decks and patios.

Care and Maintenance: The Blue Point Juniper requires little to no maintenance once established. Prune yearly to maintain the desired shape and size. It prefers full sun and thrives in well-drained soils, making it highly adaptable and easy to grow. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system, then reduce frequency once established. Fertilize yearly in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy new growth.

Versatile Landscaping: Blue Point Junipers are a popular choice for landscaping due to their dark green foliage that persists all year. Juniper topiaries make wonderful container plants and can be used to decorate patios or to flank your front entryway, creating a dramatic visual statement. They also serve well as accents, borders, hedges, and for privacy planting in urban gardens.
