Common juniper 'Pencil Point'

Juniperus communis 'Pencil Point' is a common juniper with an extremely narrow columnar habit, known for its slender and perfectly vertical silhouette. This variety is distinguished by its slow and regular growth, forming a dense and compact column ideal for rock gardens, alpine gardens, linear plantings, or vertical accents in small spaces. Its evergreen foliage, ranging from bluish-green to grayish-green, consists of fine, slightly prickly needles and maintains a neat appearance all year round, even in winter. Its naturally tight habit requires little to no pruning to maintain its slender shape. Very hardy, tolerant of poor and well-drained soils, as well as windy conditions, 'Pencil Point' is particularly suited for Nordic gardens seeking verticality, simplicity, and durable structure.
