You'll find we carry young 1-gallons, up to more mature 7-gallons ranging anywhere from 6 inches to 6ft. While the industry-standard terminology is to call the sizes "Gallon Containers", that doesn't exactly translate to the traditional liquid "gallon" size we think of. Nursery containers come in a variety of different sizes, and old-school nursery slang has stuck. It was "found" and named in 1949 by Schuel Nursery, South Bend, Indiana, USA.All tree, and nothin' but the tree! We measure from the top of the soil to the top of the tree the height of the container or the root system is never included in our measurements. Although it seldom needs pruning, with age (and conditions) 'Skyrocket' can get leggy and wider than its advertised 2 to 3 foot (60 - 90 cm) spread. Because of this, it has become the most popular upright juniper growing 15 feet (3 m) tall and 2 feet (60 cm) wide after 10 years, making it, some claim, the narrowest juniper one can find. Once established, 'Skyrocket' is drought tolerant and is often used as a screen or windbreak for full sun, in place of the more common Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), especially beyond the cypress' USDA Zone 7 limits. 'Skyrocket' is a very popular landscape tree for suburban landscapes. It also creates crops of blue berries that are popular as winter forage for birds. Its branching is mostly fastigiate and foliage is silvery blue in color. In the east it often (inappropriately) called the red cedar. Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket' is a narrowly conical, female selection of Rocky Mountain or western juniper. Additions to the International Conifer Register.
