Growth Rate and Mature Size

Grows at a moderate rate, typically reaching a height of about 10 to 15 feet, with a spread of around 2 to 3 feet, making it ideal for narrow spaces, vertical accents, or privacy screens in landscapes.

Watering and Sunlight

This juniper prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil and requires minimal watering once established. While it is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it performs best with occasional watering during dry spells or in its early growth stages. Overwatering should be avoided, as it is susceptible to root rot in soggy soil.

Skyrocket Juniper thrives in full sun, where it maintains its vibrant silvery-blue color and compact, upright growth. It can tolerate some light shade but may not grow as vigorously or maintain its full color in shadier spots.
