| Botanical Name | Juniperus chinensis 'Blue Point' |
| Description | A popular choice for Willis and Houston landscapes due to its natural pyramidal shape and striking blue-green color. It is extremely hardy and stands up well to Texas heat and wind. To succeed in our local heavy clay, plant in a raised mound or well-drained area; this juniper cannot tolerate standing water or "wet feet," which can lead to root rot during wet Houston seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for best color and dense growth) |
| Height x Width | 10-12 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low once established. Very drought-tolerant, but ensure excellent drainage to handle heavy rainfall events. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage steady, healthy growth. |
| Pruning | Naturally maintains a tidy pyramidal form. Lightly shear in late winter or early spring only if a very formal look is desired. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
