Virginia juniper 'Blue Arrow'
FamilyCupressaceae
Juniperus virginiana ‘Blue Arrow’ is an extremely narrow, columnar Eastern Redcedar, recognized for its slender silhouette and intense steely blue foliage. This variety stands out for its strictly vertical and very compact growth, forming a dense and regular column ideal for creating architectural accents, formal alignments, or visual screens in confined spaces. Its evergreen foliage, finely textured and tightly held against the branches, maintains a remarkable silvery-blue hue all year round, providing a strong visual impact even in winter. Highly cold-hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and undemanding regarding soil type, ‘Blue Arrow’ is particularly well-suited for northern gardens and contemporary landscapes. Its neat and stable structure makes it a professional choice for sustainably shaping the landscape.
