Wichita Blue Juniper

Choose Wichita Blue Juniper for a blue upright evergreen screen in a sunny, dry spot; the tradeoff is width, so it needs more room than the pencil-thin junipers.

Buy This If

• You want blue evergreen color.
• You need a durable screen.
• Your site runs dry.

Skip This If

• You need a very narrow plant.
• The area stays wet.
• You want fast coverage.
