Moonglow Juniper

Choose Moonglow Juniper if you want a blue-toned evergreen screen with more body than the pencil-thin junipers. The tradeoff is space: it needs breathing room, so don’t squeeze it beside walks, doors, or tight foundations.

Buy This If

• You want blue evergreen color.
• You need a fuller upright screen.
• You have room for width.

Skip This If

• You need a very narrow column.
• The site stays shaded.
• The soil stays soggy.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	The blue-gray color and upright shape give it strong presence without looking too formal.
Growth Rate	B+	It fills in at a useful pace, though it still needs time to become a solid screen.
Maintenance	B+	Once established, it usually needs little pruning beyond correcting stray branches.
Deer Resistance	A-	Deer usually leave junipers alone, making this a safer pick than many broadleaf evergreens.
Small Space Fit	C	It is upright, but it is not slim enough for tight entries or cramped foundation beds.
Screening Value	A-	Its dense habit makes it a strong screen where there is enough room for the plant to mature.

Customers Usually Ask

Will it stay blue?

Yes, the foliage holds a blue-gray cast best in open, sunny conditions.

Can I use it as a privacy hedge?

Yes, if you have enough room for a fuller upright evergreen.

Does it need shearing?

No; light touch-up pruning is usually better than hard shearing.
