Juniperus communis 'Pencil Point' is commonly referred to as Pencil Point Juniper or Noah's Ark Juniper. It is a slow-growing evergreen conifer shrub that is noteworthy for being cold tolerant as well as heat and humidity tolerant, making it a favorite of many. It has an narrow, dense, multi-stemmed habit, growing 5-6 feet tall with a spread of 18-24 inches. Its blue-green needles often turn copper-bronze as the weather changes.
Pencil Point Juniper is deer, drought and erosion resistant and thrives in full sun in average, evenly moist, well-draining soils. This is a beautiful accent plant and a fantastic choice for those narrow spots in the landscape.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to ensure the best foliage color and density. These evergreen shrubs are incredibly durable and heat-tolerant, though they require consistent water during the first season until the root system is well established; thereafter, they are notably drought-tolerant.
Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to manage size or remove dead wood, but avoid aggressive shearing that exposes the inner woody stems. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
