Juniperus scopulorum 'Tolleson's Blue Weeping' is a spectacular evergreen conifer prized for its graceful, weeping silhouette. This variety develops a narrow, irregular shape with supple branches cascading downwards, creating a unique architectural effect in the garden. Its fine, silvery-blue foliage densely covers the branches and maintains its beautiful color all year round. Depending on how it is staked, this juniper can form an elegant column with pendulous branches or a more free-form, sculptural structure. Very hardy and tolerant, it adapts well to poor, dry or sandy soils and is resistant to windy and urban conditions. This plant is ideal as a specimen in a garden or as a focal point in a conifer bed.
