Sky Rocket Juniper Tree
Pickup currently unavailable at 1540 Gordon Road
Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket'
Stately, columnar form makes this likely the narrowest juniper available - so narrow and upright, in fact, it resembles a skyrocket! A durable and versatile evergreen with beautiful bluish green foliage, it works well grouped to form a colorful screen, or singly as a garden accent in a mixture of conifers. Requires very little care, once established.

Planting and Care Tips
Plant
Set the Skyrocket Juniper Tree in well-draining soil with the root ball level to the ground, spacing about 2–3 feet apart for a dense screen or vertical accent.
Feed
Feed once in early spring with a slow-release balanced fertilizer formulated for evergreens.
Water
Water deeply once or twice a week during the first growing season, then only during prolonged dry spells once established.
Prune
Lightly prune in late spring to maintain its narrow, upright shape and remove any damaged or straying branches.
Exposure
Plant in full sun, providing at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for best color and form.
