Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket' (Skyrocket Juniper) is a narrow, columnar evergreen conifer valued for its striking vertical form and silvery-blue foliage. This fast-growing cultivar features dense, scale-like needles that maintain their colour year-round, creating a dramatic architectural element in the landscape. Its exceptionally narrow, upright growth habit makes it ideal for formal accents, tight spaces, or as a vertical contrast in mixed plantings.
Well-suited to a variety of conditions, 'Skyrocket' thrives in well-drained soils and full sun. It demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established and is resistant to most pests and diseases. This low-maintenance conifer is particularly valued for its structural form, colour consistency, and ability to provide year-round interest in garden designs.
