Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket'
Choose Skyrocket Juniper when you need a tall, very narrow evergreen line in a sunny spot. Its main value is width control; the tradeoff is a formal, upright look that can feel stiff in relaxed plantings.
Buy This If
You need height without width.
You want blue-toned evergreen color.
You prefer minimal pruning.
Skip This If
You want a soft, informal evergreen.
Your site stays wet.
You need shade tolerance.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The narrow blue-green form gives a clean vertical line, but it can look rigid if overused.
Growth Rate
B+
It fills in faster than many tight evergreens, though it still needs time to make a real screen.
Maintenance
B+
It usually needs little pruning, but heavy cutting into older wood should be avoided.
Deer Resistance
A-
Its deer resistance is a real advantage for many New England properties, though no plant is ignored everywhere.
Small Space Fit
A
This is one of the better upright evergreens when width is the main limitation.
Screening Value
B
It works well as a slim visual screen, but its narrow habit is not the answer for a broad privacy wall.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Skyrocket Juniper for narrow, sunny spaces where arborvitae would get too wide or too soft-looking.

Customers Usually Ask
Can it be used as a privacy screen?
Yes, but it works best as a narrow row, not as one single plant.
Does it need pruning?
Very little; light shaping is safer than hard cutting.
Will deer eat it?
It has good deer resistance, though no plant is completely ignored.
CLEARANCE
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
