Rocky Mountain Juniper Skyrocket

If you like the Rocky Mountain juniper but want a variety that grows faster, the skyrocket cultivar (Juniperus scopulorum) is the way to go. It’s still not the fastest-growing conifer on this list, but it’s a nice alternative to the original. The Skyrocket has a slender silhouette with dense, silvery blue needles and is best suited as an accent tree.
