Question I am in the midwest, zone 5 and have a linear but tight area that I would like to plant a row of tall narrow trees. The area is partly shady however. Would the sky rocket juniper be an ok choice for here? Thanks.
Answer Sounds like a good choice to me. Stately, columnar form makes this probably the narrowest juniper available; resembles a skyrocket! Durable and versatile, best grouped to form a colorful bluish-gray screen or garden accent. Full sun. Fast grower to 15 to 20 feet tall, 2 to 3 feet wide.
