This evergreen features blue-gray foliage that retains its color year-round. It’s an excellent choice for small landscape trees, screens, or background plantings. While generally resistant to pests and diseases, it may be vulnerable to blights, root rot in poorly drained soils, and occasional insect pests. For optimal health, avoid overly moist environments and ensure good drainage.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Juniperus scopulorum Wichita Blue

This evergreen thrives in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils with full sun exposure. It adapts well to a variety of soil types, performing particularly well in dry, sandy soils with good drainage. However, it is intolerant of wet soils and does not tolerate the hot, humid conditions found in the deep South. For best results, plant in an area with good drainage and avoid overly moist environments.
