Why plant Moonglow Juniper?
Our Moonglow Juniper Tree is a sassy, neatly manicured specimen tree that can be pruned into a sleek, evergreen tree. Quirky and confident, it will add personality to your entryway garden, foundation beds, patio plantings, or any of the more formal areas around your home. This silvery blue evergreen maintains interest all year round and looks especially fetching with a frosting of snow.
Moonglow Juniper is a special, extra-blue selection of our native Rocky Mountain Juniper, which ranges from the Black Hills to British Columbia and south to New Mexico. Rocky Mountain Juniper is a rugged tree often found clinging to mountainsides, enduring in rocky places where other trees can’t survive. Long before it was valued as a landscape tree, this tree had another role in the lives of the West’s earliest residents. Native people in this country valued Rocky Mountain Juniper for its medicinal uses; its needles and berries were used by members of several American Indian tribes to treat various ailments from asthma to fevers.
How to use Moonglow Juniper in the landscape?
Plant a Moonglow Juniper as a single specimen, or plant a pair on either side of a doorway, gate, or bench in your garden to highlight certain areas or to direct guests to your door. It also shines as an attractive privacy hedge or screen, and it simply dazzles when planted in groves.

How To Plant Moonglow Juniper
Thanks to its origins in the Rocky Mountain states, your Moonglow Juniper Tree is content with tough love and doesn’t want to be spoiled with lots of water or fertilizer. Plant it where it can soak up sun all day to bring out the best color and density of its foliage. Moonglow Juniper may struggle in extremely hot and humid climates.
How To Water
Your Moonglow Juniper does need regular water during the first couple of years while its roots are getting established in the ground, but after that it will be drought tolerant.
How To Fertilize
In early spring each year, you should fertilize your Moonglow Juniper with the Bower & Branch Elements Plant Food to ensure your tree has all it needs to encourage a healthy flush of shimmery, silvery-blue foliage.
How To Prune
When your Moonglow Juniper puts out new growth and begins to look a little shaggy, you’ll want to clean it up. Working from the bottom to the top, simply shear it back into shape.
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!
