Why plant Blue Point Juniper?
Cool blue elegance. Blue Point Juniper is a sharp, stylish evergreen that lends a formal touch to the landscape. With upswept branches that come to a point, this classy conifer makes a strong vertical statement that draws the eye all year-round. Include a plant in your mixed borders as a focal point, or set a matching pair on either side of your gate or doorway to add instant curb appeal to your home.
Blue Point Juniper is a type of Chinese Juniper, a rugged evergreen conifer native to a vast region that includes China, Japan, Mongolia, and Korea. Chinese Juniper naturally assumes a wonderfully diverse array of forms, from low groundhuggers to towering trees, and in all shades of green, blue, and gold. Blue Point is a selection that has stood the test of time, having originated at an American nursery in the early 1970s. This durable blue Juniper serves as a good substitute for Colorado Blue Spruce when you want something that stays a bit smaller. It’s also adaptable to more regions of the country than Blue Spruce.
How to use Blue Point Juniper in the landscape?
As a part of our Tapestry collection, Blue Point Juniper makes a fine addition to a mixed privacy screen, or you can choose to create a uniform hedge with a row of these sturdy sight-blockers.

How To Plant Blue Point Juniper
Chinese Junipers are tough, adaptable plants, and the Blue Point Chinese Juniper is no exception. Its only non-negotiable demands are all-day sun and excellent drainage. This is a plant you can count on in challenging urban situations, as it copes well with pollution and poor, dry soil. It also finds a happy home in open, windy sites in the country. Pruning is optional, and pests and diseases are rarely a problem, making Blue Point Juniper a relatively low-maintenance option for your landscape.
How To Water
Blue Point Juniper appreciates regular irrigation during establishment, but after a year or two it should be quite drought tolerant.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.
How To Prune
Our Blue Point Juniper naturally assumes an upright, formal shape, but you can give it an even crisper outline with pruning. This is easily accomplished with a quick, light shearing once a year. Start during the first or second season for best results—don’t delay.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
