Description
Juniperus scopulorum ‘Medora’ forms a dense, narrow-columnar to pyramidal evergreen with fine blue-green scale-like foliage. Its strong upright line works as a vertical accent, compact screen, or repeated planting in limited-width gardens.
Plant it in full sun and well-drained sandy or loamy soil. Once established it tolerates heat, cold, and drought, needs only occasional watering, and keeps its refined outline with minimal pruning.
