Blue arrow vs skyrocket juniper full#

Widely used in landscapes with Mediterranean themes, and commonly seen growing in wild, native stands in Italy. We have chosen the 'Stricta' variety of Italian Cypress for its extremely tall, narrow growth habit, as well as for its increased cold hardiness when compared to many other strains of Italian Cypress.

Height: 15-20 ft., Spread: 2-3 ft.Д¬upressus sempervirens 'Stricta', a very tall, slender columnar cypress with a deep dark green color giving this particular cypress a very 'elegant' look. Beautifully elegant for use around large entryways, gates, or even just to hide that old gutter downspout. The tallest, narrowest juniper out there. It's a very striking, dramatic plant when used as a cluster planting against a large fence or building or in formal plantings. Its short, compact, silvery blue foliage is evergreenwith virtually no change from season to season. Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket'), has a tall and extremely narrow, columnar growth habit. Holds good color through the winter with very, very minimal bronzing. Color so intense it almost glows - one of our favorites!!! Excellent as an accent plant, or planted as a screen or fence border. Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum 'Moonglow'), a dense conical pyramidal juniper with intense bluish-gray-green foliage.

Enjoys full to part sun, and withstands a variety of harsh conditions. Heavy fruit/cone/berry producer, and has very aromatic foliage when rubbed or crushed. Commonly used as a privacy screen or windbreak. The foliage is a nice gray/green color - more green with a hint of gray to it. Hetz's Green Columnar Juniper (Juniperus virginiana 'Hetzii Columnaris'), a very large, upright juniper cultivar with a very rigid, prickly feel to it. Grows 10-14 feet high with a spread of 4-5 feet. Prefers slightly acidic, well drained soil. Retains excellent color through the winter - very minimal bronzing. But a 'couple feet' is pretty tight siting even for the 'Blue Arrow'. Good choice for privacy borders, wind screens, as well as accent & group plantings. Also, 'Blue Arrow' will maintain a more narrow profile than 'Skyrocket' long term - 'Skyrocket' wll get puffier and wider than advertised in time. Withstands drought & windy conditions better than most upright junipers. Some to consider include:Д¬hinese Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Blue Point') is a very hardy, fast growing upright juniper with a very pyramidal, columnar growth habit. If you choose something that will max out in the space you can provide, you won't need to worry about pruning or trimming as the shrub matures. You probably want an upright, columnar plant to frame the window and you won't want it to grow so wide it will obstruct the view. The ultimate or mature size should be your first consideration.
