The Blue Point Juniper is a Houston favorite due to its extreme versatility and resilience. As a spiral-cut topiary, it provides an upscale, formal look for entryways or focal points. It is highly adapted to Houston's intense summer heat and humidity. While it prefers well-drained soil, it is remarkably drought-tolerant once established and handles our regional clay better than many other evergreen uprights.
Exposure
Full Sun (6+ hours daily) for best color and density.
Height x Width
Maintained at 4-6 feet tall (Spiral) x 1.5-2.5 feet wide.
Water
Low to Medium; drought tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering in heavy clay.
Zones
4 - 9
Fertilization
Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release evergreen fertilizer.
Pruning
Periodic light shearing 2-3 times per year to maintain the spiral form and prevent it from growing out.
