The Rocky Mountain Juniper is a columnar and slightly rounded evergreen shrub that features foliage with colours that range from a light green to a dark blue-green. It produces round, dark-blue berry-like cones that ripen in the second year.

Rocky Mountain Junipers have great ornamental value due to its varying colours and can attract wildlife into your yard as the “berries” are favored by birds.

The Brandon Cedar is a columnar evergreen with soft, dense foliage that retains its bright green color all year round. It makes for a great vertical accent on your property or as part of a hedge, it is suitable for urban gardens due to its size and it is highly shade tolerant.
