Juniper ‘Skyrocket’ Juniperus scopulorum is a striking evergreen that brings height and structure to gardens. Its slim, pencil-like shape makes it perfect for smaller spaces where you want to add drama without taking up much room. The blue-grey foliage stays fresh and attractive all year round.

This neat column grows straight up without spreading out, typically reaching 4-6 metres tall but staying slim at just 60cm wide. The compact growth means you can plant it close to paths or use it to frame doorways and gates. It works brilliantly in pairs to create a formal look.

The dense foliage grows in tight, upright sprays that catch light beautifully. In winter, when other plants are bare, this juniper keeps its good looks and provides welcome greenery. Birds often use it for shelter and nesting.

You’ll often see these smart columns in posh gardens, but they’re actually really easy to grow. They need almost no pruning to keep their shape, making them perfect for busy gardeners who want a tidy look without much fuss.

Plant your Skyrocket Juniper in any well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. These tough plants cope with most conditions but don’t like sitting in wet soil. Once settled, they rarely need watering except in very dry spells. No regular pruning is needed – they keep their slim shape naturally. Watch out for heavy snow, which can sometimes splay the branches – just shake it off gently. They’re generally pest and disease free, making them one of the easiest plants to grow.
