This is a naturally occurring columnar Rocky Mountain juniper with its heritage from the wind swept prairie of North Dakota! Just as hardy as the Woodward juniper we offer, except it has a silvery blue appearance to its needles. This juniper will work great as a beautiful visual screen, as a hedge or as an accent plant in a tight place. No pruning will be needed to keep its columnar form. Tolerant of most soils including clay if kept on the dry side. Very drought tolerant once established!
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
