This plant belongs to the cypress family, a group of conifers known for their graceful shapes and attractive bark.

It is an upright, fast-growing conifer that can reach up to 4 meters in height. The plant produces small, round seed-bearing cones that are initially green but quickly turn brown. The 'Blue Arrow' is exceptionally hardy in winter and even retains its striking colour in the coldest season.

Care
Regarding care, the Juniperus scopulorum 'Blue Arrow' requires full sun and well-draining soil. The plant is relatively drought-tolerant, but benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Pruning is rarely necessary for this plant, except to keep its size under control or to remove dead or diseased branches. Although the 'Blue Arrow' is tolerant to most soil types, it thrives best in slightly acidic to neutral soil.
