The Skyrocket Juniper is known for its narrow, columnar growth habit, which gives it a distinctive and elegant appearance. It typically reaches a height of 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) with a spread of only 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters), making it an excellent choice for small spaces or as a vertical accent in the landscape.

This juniper variety has scale-like leaves that are a vibrant blue-green color, adding a touch of color and texture to the garden. It is an evergreen plant, meaning it retains its foliage year-round.

The Skyrocket Juniper is known for its tolerance to a variety of growing conditions. It can thrive in full sun and is adaptable to different soil types, including sandy or clay soils. It is also relatively drought-tolerant once established.

In terms of care, the Skyrocket Juniper is relatively low-maintenance. It requires minimal pruning, usually to maintain its shape or remove any dead or damaged branches. It is generally a hardy and resilient plant.
