Blue Arrow Juniper

Choose Blue Arrow Juniper when you need a very narrow evergreen with blue color for a tight, sunny spot; the tradeoff is that it gives a slim screen, not a broad privacy wall.

Buy This If

• You need height without much width
• You want blue evergreen color
• The site drains well

Skip This If

• You need a wide, solid screen
• The area stays wet
• You want a soft, informal look

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	Its blue upright shape gives a strong vertical accent without taking over the bed.
Growth Rate	B	It fills in at a steady pace, but it is not the fastest way to block a view.
Maintenance	A-	Little pruning is needed if you give it room and avoid shearing the column too hard.
Deer Resistance	B+	Deer usually pass on junipers, though hungry animals can sample almost anything.
Small Space Fit	A	This is one of the better choices when width is the limiting factor.
Screening Value	B-	It works for narrow screening, but the slim profile leaves less mass than broader evergreens.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blue Arrow for narrow vertical structure, not as the main privacy plant for a large property. Give it drainage, avoid crowding it with broad shrubs, and let the natural column do the work.

Customers Usually Ask

Will it work beside a walkway?

Yes, if the planting strip is sunny and drains well; keep it set back from snow piles and foot traffic.

Does it need pruning to stay narrow?

Usually no; light touch-up is fine, but heavy shearing can make it look stiff.

Can it make a privacy screen?

Yes for a narrow sightline, but choose a wider juniper if you need a dense wall.
