I've got pictures of what these look like at age 25 before pruning:

Great for privacy and as a wind block. I have four that have reached Maturity. Mine have blocked the view of the Sandia Mountains here so next week they are getting pruned.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Blue Point Junipers! It’s fantastic to hear that they’ve not only added privacy but also served as a wind block—and what an incredible bonus to have them framing your view near the Sandia Mountains.

If you’d like, we have some great resources on pruning mature junipers to ensure you maintain their natural beauty while encouraging growth—you can check those out on our care guides page.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and those impressive photos of your Blue Point Junipers at 25 years old! It’s wonderful to hear how effectively they’ve provided privacy and acted as a windbreak for you—blocking the view of the Sandia Mountains is no small feat.

As you prepare to prune, a good tip is to prune lightly and gradually to maintain the natural shape and avoid exposing too much old wood, especially in mature specimens like yours. Early spring, before new growth starts, is usually the best time to do major pruning on junipers. If you’d like some detailed pruning guides or advice specific to Blue Point Junipers, we have helpful resources on our site or feel free to reach out anytime.

Thanks again for letting us be part of your gardening journey. We’re always excited to support passionate gardeners like you!

My county agent recommended this plant for a steep embankment. I owe him a big thank you. It grew thick enough to keep the weeds down and it stopped the ugly erosion I used to have.

Beautiful green-blue color

I planted 4 blue point junipers around one side of my patio. I've trained one into a pretty spiral topiary look. Slow growers but very nice! I was also very impressed with what I received from Nature Hills. Packed well, large sizes, I recommend them.

We truly appreciate your kind words about the planting size and packaging. We take special care in ensuring that plants arrive healthy and ready to grow.

Nice in masses

In South Central KY this is a dependable plant with excellent winter coloration. Bagworms the only problem, so install properly and watch during extremely dry summers for signs of an infestation. Better yet, provide some deep watering when drought becomes "apparent".

Frequently Asked Questions

Are blue point junipers deer resistant?
  • Blue Point Junipers are deer resistant, making them reliable choices for areas with browsing wildlife. Their naturally unpalatable foliage deters deer from feeding on them. Plant them in vulnerable spots like foundation beds or property borders where deer damage is a concern.

What USDA hardiness zones can Blue Point Juniper survive in?
  • Blue Point Juniper thrives in USDA zones 4-9, handling both harsh winters and summer heat exceptionally well. This reliable evergreen stays green through temperature extremes and performs well even in partial shade. Shop at Nature Hills for this hardy, versatile juniper.

How tall and wide does Blue Point Juniper grow at maturity?
  • Blue Point Juniper typically reaches 10-12 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide at maturity. This pyramidal evergreen grows at a moderate pace, adding about 6-12 inches per year. Plan for adequate spacing when planting to accommodate its mature size without overcrowding.

How fast does Blue Point Juniper grow per year?
  • Blue Point Juniper grows 6-12 inches per year, reaching 10-12 feet tall and 5-8 feet wide at maturity. This moderate growth rate makes it ideal for foundation plantings where you want steady development without overwhelming nearby plants. Plan for 8-10 years to reach full size.

What are the best companion plants to grow with Blue Point Juniper?
  • Blue Point Juniper's blue-green backdrop perfectly showcases colorful annuals and perennials. Plant bright flowering perennials like coneflowers or daylilies in front, with seasonal annuals for pops of color. Shop complementary plants at naturehills.com to create stunning contrast.

Does Blue Point Juniper require regular pruning to maintain its shape?
  • Blue Point Juniper naturally forms a soft pyramid and doesn't require regular pruning to maintain its basic shape. However, it responds exceptionally well to shearing and can be shaped into spirals, formal cones, or other designs. Prune in late winter or early spring for best results.

Can Blue Point Juniper tolerate drought conditions once established?
  • Blue Point Juniper is quite drought tolerant once its root system is established, typically after the first growing season. Like most junipers, it's a reliable performer that doesn't wilt in summer heat. Water regularly during the first year, then reduce frequency as the plant matures.

Will Blue Point Juniper grow well in clay soil or does it need well-draining soil?
  • Blue Point Juniper tolerates clay soil but performs best in well-draining conditions. Like most junipers, it's quite adaptable to various soil types and won't struggle in heavier soils as much as other evergreens. Improve drainage in heavy clay by planting on a slight mound or adding coarse compost to the planting hole.
