About this tree

Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper shoots straight up with a sleek, vertical form, maturing about 15 to 25 feet tall while staying just 3 to 5 feet wide. This evergreen stays handsome year-round, non-flowering and low fuss, with a moderate growth rate that suits patient planners. It thrives in USDA zones 3 to 7 and shrugs off drought, heat, cold, wind, salt, and deer. Use it to frame an entry, punctuate mixed beds, or build a narrow privacy screen where space is tight.

Full planting & care

Planting+

Choose a spot with full sun and clay, loamy, rocky, sandy, well drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, set the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill, and water in well. Space about 5 ft. from other plants.

Watering+

Water deeply about once a week while it establishes, then ease off as roots take hold.

Fertilizing+

Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A second light feeding in early summer supports vigorous growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season.

Pruning+

Prune in late winter while dormant to remove any dead or crossing branches and to shape. Minimal pruning is needed otherwise.
