(Juniperus x 'J.N. Select Blue')
This evergreen is multipurpose; it's year round color and interest, provides habitat to wildlife, and it can be used as a privacy screen. Its name comes from the blue-green, star-like new growth that gives the tree a delicate texture that almost appears to sparkle. But don’t let its appearance fool you–this Juniper is a tough, hardy plant for many sites. This tree is a delight to a variety of wildlife including cardinals who seek shelter among the dense, upright branches in winter.
