Droughts can cause the root system to dry out completely and result in the tree perishing. It has a very high drought tolerance but it is still important to remember that the tree will need to be watered regularly. Junipers do well in soil that is loamy, acidic and alkaline based. Ice covering that lasts more than a day or two can damage the plants fragile foliage. In colder locations that are subject to a lot of rain (which can result in ice) the juniper will need a little bit of extra attention. It is suitable for zones 3 through 7, which includes the lower parts of Alaska and Minnesota, into the warmer locations of northern Georgia and Virginia. Since the Rocky Mountain Juniper is so adaptable and versatile, it is suitable for a wide range of USDA plant hardiness zones. However, its thick foliage is a favorite refuge for many types of birds, as well as small animals like squirrels and chipmunks. This is a non-flowering specimen that does not produce any cones or fruits. It is very similar in appearance to the Eastern Red Cedar and it may hybridize with it if there are examples grown close by.

The branches on the juniper form at the base and slope upwards as the tree matures, giving it a full and perky appearance. Unlike other needle-foliaged trees, the Rocky Mountain Juniper retains most of its needles, ensuring an unlittered base and surrounding area. The blue-green needles form along the branches to create a full and dense display that lasts throughout the entire year. If left to its own device to grow as it would in nature, it can top 30-40 feet with a ten to 15 foot spread. In home or commercial landscape use the juniper can reach a moderate height of about 15 feet with a six foot spread. Its pyramidal shape is symmetric and uniform from the base of the truck all the way to the top. They are regularly used in the United States in the median strip between our highways. As mentioned, it is regularly used in bonsai but also makes a perfect specimen for buffering noise around parking lots or from busy roads near your home. The Rocky Mountain Juniper is native to North America and can be found throughout the country, as well as further north into Canada. Growing Moonglow Rocky Mountain Juniper Trees
