This tall, straight conifer grows over 80' tall and reaches diameters of 1'-2'. It has very stiff green and blue-green evergreen needles. Cultivars have been developed which accentuate a powder blue cast to the needles for ornamental purposes.
Location: Now widely planted for landscaping, the blue spruce is native to a fairly narrow geographic range in the central Rocky Mountains in the United States. In nature, it generally occurs along stream bottoms and on moist sites at 6,000' to 11,000' elevation.
Light: Tolerant of some shade.
Moisture: Average.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 4 to 5.
Usage: Blue spruce is most commonly used as an individual specimen tree but would be an attractive grove or windbreak tree.
Features: The striking blue colored foliage has made the blue spruce a popular landscape tree in the United States.

You must see one in the wild to appreciate its full beauty.

Atlas cedar is a large and majestic evergreen conifer that can get as tall as 120' and have a spread of 100'. More commonly, and especially in the US, it is 40-60' tall and 20-40' wide. The tree is neatly cone shaped in youth, becoming more open and spreading with a flat top as it ages. The bark is silvery gray and fissured. The stiff, needlelike leaves are bluish green, less than an inch long, and clustered in tufts on short lateral spurs. The egg shaped cones are 3" long, green while developing and brown when mature. When ripe they shatter to release papery winged seeds.
Location: Atlas cedar is native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria in northern Africa. Atlas cedar does well in sandy to clayey, and acidic to alkaline soils. It grows fast and upward for the first 10-20 years, then as the central leader loses dominance, growth slows and the crown spreads. In young trees, lateral branches may have to be pruned back to keep them from breaking under their own weight. Never prune the central leader, though.
Light: Full sun or partial shade.
Moisture: Drought tolerant once established.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 6 - 9.
Atlas cedar is an imperial and picturesque specimen tree with massive, horizontal-spreading branches. It is long lived and needs lots of space and should never be used as anything but a specimen. (That is, except for the peculiar 'Glauca Pendula' which is not treelike and is grown as a curiosity.) Atlas cedar is tolerant of hot, humid weather and may be a better choice in the south than deodar cedar (C. deodara) which sometimes dies back from the top.

Rocky Mountain juniper is an evergreen large shrub or small tree to 50' tall, but usually much smaller. Specimens are variable in habit, sometimes squat and shrubby, but usually narrowly cone shaped. The trunk is short and stout, often dividing near the ground. The branches are rather thick and spreading to partly erect. Rocky Mountain juniper has reddish bark that is stringy in narrow strips but does not exfoliate. Most of the leaves are like overlapping scales, closely pressed to the twigs. Juvenile leaves, usually only found on young seedlings, are more like needles, and they spread away from the twigs. The foliage is dense and pleasantly aromatic. Trees may have male or female cones, but not both. The fruits are fleshy berrylike spherical cones, about one-third inch in diameter. They are bright blue with a whitish bloom and sweet tasting, with thin skins. Rocky Mountain juniper is closely related and quite similar to eastern redcedar, and was once believed to be the same species. But eastern redcedar has fruits that mature in a single season, whereas those of Rocky Mountain juniper take two year to ripen. Also, eastern redcedar had exfoliating bark. The two species hybridize where their ranges overlap.
Location: Rocky Mountain juniper occurs in isolated and scattered localities within a wide band from British Columbia to North Dakota, and south to Arizona and New Mexico. It grows from near sea level in the northern part of its range to more than 8000' above sea level in the south. Rocky Mountain juniper grows in alkaline soils on ridges, cliffs and rocky slopes, sometimes in pure stands, but more often in association with other mountain loving evergreens such as ponderosa pine, pinyon pine and Douglas-fir.
Culture: Rocky Mountain juniper is a slow growing tree (6-12" per year), but one that can live more than 300 years. In cultivation it tolerates acidic to alkaline soils, and does best in those that are loose and well drained. It is best adapted to culture in western and northern North America.
Light: Seedlings and saplings can tolerate rather dense shade, but Rocky Mountain junipers, even the smaller cultivars, need full sun to grow to their full potentials.
Moisture: Rocky Mountain juniper is tolerant of drought, but perhaps less so than the other junipers. It should be watered before the soil becomes completely dry. This juniper does poorly in humid climates, but does fine in hot, dry climates.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 4 - 7.
Usage: Use any of the cultivars of Rocky Mountain juniper for attractive foliage effects in all seasons. This evergreen is useful as a screen, hedge or foundation plant. They make great anchors or focal points for the ends of hedges or mixed borders. Rocky Mountain juniper is a tidy, formal accent shrub alone or in small groups.
Features: Although most cultivars are probably too formal for naturalistic gardens, Rocky Mountain juniper is ideal for neat, well-organized landscapes. Most cultivars require little or no pruning and are relatively free of cultural problems, insects and diseases. They tolerate heat and drought well. Package of 10 seeds $1.95
