Juniperus chinensis ‘Blue Point’

Juniperus chinensis 'Blue Point' is a uniform-growing dwarf conical selection of Chinese juniper with dense branching holding prickly blue-gray foliage. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 4.5 feet (1.5 m) tall and two-thirds as wide, an annual growth rate of 4 to 6 inches (10 - 15 cm). It is a fairly commonly seen landscape tree that is easily found in garden centers and box stores.

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected and introduced in the early 1970s by Monrovia Nursery of Visalia, California, USA.
