Juniperus scopulorum 'Moonglow' - Moon glow Juniper

Oh what a marvelous place for a Moonglow... This Juniper has wonderful, icy-blue foliage and at maturity can be a meaty 16' tall and 8-10' wide. It has a very dense branching habit, and with that it has become popular in topiary (see pictures at right). I find this interesting because untamed, this plant can serve as an expansive screen when planted in quantity, like a small version of a Fat Albert Spruce. Like the name suggests, under bright moonlight this plants foliage will reflect and disperse the light. It's a tough, cold-hardy evergreen that resists deer nibbling.
