Blue Point Juniper

Choose Blue Point Juniper if you want a full, upright evergreen screen or anchor with blue-green color. The tradeoff: it is broader than the skinny junipers, so give it real room instead of squeezing it beside walks or doors.

Buy This If

• You want a full upright evergreen
• You have dry to average soil
• You prefer minimal shaping

Skip This If

• You need a very narrow plant
• The site stays wet
• You want a soft, loose look

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	Its dense pyramidal shape gives a planting structure without needing a row of mixed shrubs.
Growth Rate	B+	It fills in at a useful pace, but it still needs time to become a solid screen.
Maintenance	A-	It usually holds its shape with light cleanup rather than regular shearing.
Deer Resistance	A-	Deer typically leave junipers alone, making this a strong pick where browsing is a concern.
Small Space Fit	C+	It is upright but not narrow, so it can feel bulky in tight beds.
Screening Value	A-	The dense habit gives good privacy and wind break value when planted with enough room.
