Chinese juniper leaves come in two types: scale-like (adult) and awl/needle-like (juvenile). Cones (pollen and seed-bearing) appear on different plants. Male plants produce catkin-like pollen cones. Female plants produce fleshy, berry-like, whitish-blue seed cones that usually acquire violet-brown tones as they mature over two years. 'Spartan' is a narrow pyramidal to a columnar tree that grows 15-20' tall but spreads to only 5' wide. Dark green foliage is primarily scale-like. Foliage is attractive throughout the year.

The Blue Point Juniper has dense, blueish-green foliage. It is a nice specimen tree for landscapes. It's pyramidal form and blue coloring will make a statement and contrast nicely with surrounding plants. Use it as a corner plant or as a small privacy hedge. It prefers not to be crowded at the base. Blue Point Juniper grows to 12' h x 8' h.
