Pencil Point Juniper is a compact coniferous shrub with narrow upright branching forming a cone-like habit. The needle-like foliage with light green tops and deep green to blue green undersides often earn a copper-bronze tone in fall. Small blue berries persist in winter. Best planted in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought Tolerant once established.
