Juniperus scop. ‘Blue Arrow’ 125-150 cm.

Juniperus scopulorum Blue Arrow is a very narrow, upright evergreen conifer prized for its distinctive steel-blue foliage and strong, pencil-slim habit. Ideal for introducing vertical structure in small spaces, avenues, and formal accents, it keeps a tight column with minimal maintenance. Best in full sun and well-drained soil, it tolerates light, sandy or chalky ground and exposed, windy sites. Slow-growing, it forms a tall, elegant spire over time and is fully hardy across Ireland.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
