Juniperus Scopulorum ‘Moonglow’

Moonglow Rocky Mountain Juniper

Evergreen conifer with a strong, upright, narrowly pyramidal habit, forming a tall and elegant vertical accent. Its growth is dense and well-structured, with a naturally uniform form that requires little to no pruning to maintain its shape.

The foliage is composed of fine, scale-like leaves. Its color is a bright silvery-blue to blue-green, often slightly softer and more luminous than some other Rocky Mountain junipers, giving it a glowing appearance in sunlight.

Juniperus scopulorum ‘Moonglow’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in sandy, rocky, or lean soils. It does not tolerate wet or poorly drained conditions. Once established, it shows very high drought tolerance, excellent cold hardiness, and strong resistance to wind and urban conditions. It is ideal for vertical accents, privacy screens, windbreaks, and formal or naturalistic landscapes.
