Description

A true-blue gem in the landscape, ‘Blue Star’ Juniper is a coniferous evergreen shrub with intense blue, awl-shaped, soft but spruce-like foliage that is complimentary to most any other type of plant growing nearby. It has a mounded hemispherical habit and typically grows as a ground hugging shrub, but this is the standard topiary form grafted high on a single trunk. The shrub grows 1 foot tall after 5 years, but eventually matures over time to an average of 2 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide with no pruning. Sometimes commonly called singleseed juniper because each bluish, berry-like, female cone contains but a single seed. This cultivar is a sport of Juniperus squamata ‘Meyeri.’

Landscape & Garden Uses

The Blue Star Juniper Tree is ideal for use in the landscape or in pots, planters and other containers as a specimen or to accentuate entryways. A fine addition to conifer gardens, blue theme gardens, Asian gardens, rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Growing Preferences

Blue Star Juniper is exceptionally easy to grow in most any average, well-drained soil and full sun, however will tolerate some light shade. Plants growing in the ground are exceptionally drought tolerant when established. When growing in containers make sure to choose a pot with a drainage hole(s) and use a well-draining potting mix/soil, watering only enough to keep soil damp. Constantly soggy or wet soil can cause root rot or other harmful plant diseases. Very low maintenance requiring no pruning. Can be pruned lightly for shaping purposes.

My email was intended to let you know how great it gets at the end with Wilson. Once you grow the plant and let it go, it gets into the hands of shipping people. A few years ago I might see one package laying on the floor of the apartment building here in NYC once a week. Today, I journeyed home and climbed over at least 80 boxes in the lobby all thrown in large piles. It is crippling.
So, last year I switched my shipping address to the nearby UPS store and pay $1 per box. They are curbside in a large city and hold the goods, calling me when arrived.
You know how it goes, you get a dream, you see something and you start searching on the internet and then there is a line up and you think maybe the supplier which is closer is better.
Now let me share with you what happened before Wilson. I placed an order for trees before you with a company called FAST GROWING TREES on 10/24/20 for
1. Purple Wisteria $49.95
2. Bloomerang Lilac Shrub $24.95
3. Fugi Apple Tree five feet $89.95
4. Edible Bamboo plant $39.95
ships in 1 to 2 days, they said. Total $222.99 (no return address).
The shipment came in on 10/28/20 in a caved-in long box. Fast Growing Trees placed the Wisteria at one end and the Fugi tree at the other, both with the smaller Lilac and Bamboo in the center. All were smashed into each other with dirt all over the box. The bamboo was in a 2 inch pot, a dead leaf; the Bloomerang Lilac also in a 2 in pot was two leaves on a stick. The Wisteria was a small twig tied to a pole and the Fugi had been two feet tall and broken. Basically, I got a box of dirt.
Same nonsense with the shipment of Clematis from Hirts, tiny little dried up garbage.
Then came Wilson. I was really hesitant but you welcome access with email which was immediate and helpful. So I ventured forth again after bad experiences. Wilson has the marketing and the shipping down pat but then comes the incredible plant, which is what it is all about. What I like is the trees arrive as if I went to GA and picked them myself. That’s integrity.——————————-Thanks so much for your review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG
