Prized for its blue or blue-gray foliage, Juniperus scopulorum (Rocky Mountain Juniper) is a slow-growing, compact, conical evergreen conifer that retains its silver-blue color all year.

Drought, salt spray, erosion, and air pollution tolerant, it does not perform well in wet soils, high humidity, or high night temperatures. It is also intolerant to ice.
