Gray Gleam Juniper
Gray Gleam juniper is an upright, pyramid-shaped evergreen tree. It has silvery-gray scales (needles) with a dense branching habit.
Developed from the native species of Rocky Mountain juniper, gray gleam juniper was selected for its more compact growth habit and slower growth rate. It can be a good choice when screening or wind protection is needed.
It is an excellent option for an extremely drought-tolerant, low-maintenance evergreen tree.
Junipers are not recommended for homes with wildfire risk.
