Juniperus communis 'Compressa', commonly known as the Pencil Point Juniper, is a compact and elegant conifer that brings year-round beauty to any garden. This slow-growing, columnar juniper features a blend of green to silvery-blue foliage that turns a coppery hue in the fall, providing seasonal interest. Its two types of foliage - juvenile and mature - often appear simultaneously, with sharp, spiky needles maturing into smoother, scale-like leaves. Pencil Point Juniper is not only visually appealing but also functional. Female plants, when pollinated by a nearby male juniper, produce clusters of waxy blue-black berries in the fall, known as "juniper berries". These edible berries are famous for their use as a seasoning and as the primary flavoring in gin. Growing at a modest rate of 2-4 inches per year, this juniper reaches about 3.5 feet in height and 1 foot in width after 10 years, with a potential maximum size of 6 feet tall and 1.5 feet wide. Its slender, upright form makes it an excellent choice for container planting, vertical accents in mixed borders, or as a boundary plant in small spaces such as city gardens, rock gardens, knot gardens, and Japanese gardens. This hardy juniper thrives in full sun and moist, well-draining soil but is adaptable to various soil types, including sand and clay, as long as drainage is adequate. Once established, Pencil Point Juniper is drought-tolerant and exceptionally cold-hardy, flourishing in USDA zones 2-8 across most of the United States and Canada. Whether you’re looking to add structure to your garden or a touch of evergreen elegance to a small space, Juniperus communis 'Compressa' is a versatile and attractive choice. Bring home this resilient juniper today and enjoy its year-round beauty and utility in your landscape.
