Blue Arrow Juniper is a small evergreen tree known for its exceedingly narrow columnar habit with tight upright branching growth. Its fine bright blue-green foliage with a hint of silver earns more silver tones in winter. Produces silvery blue berries. Best growth occurs with full sun and well drained soils. Its drought-tolerant and hardiness once established makes it a hardy choice for many landscapes.
