Juniperus scopulorm, or Rocky Mountain juniper, is native to the Rocky Mountains and the Northwestern Great Plains. A mature height of 20 to 30 feet and spread 8 to 12 feet is normal, slow growth rate of 1 foot per year.
NOTE: Rocky Mountain juniper is often confused with Eastern Redcedar. The leaves and fruit are like Eastern redcedar, but there are significant differences. The main differences are:
- Rocky Mountain Juniper is smaller with a height of 20 to 30 feet and spread 8 to 12 feet
- Rocky Mountain Juniper’s branches tend to be more upright and shed snow more easily (less snow breakage/damage to tree)
- Rocky Mountain Juniper holds its summer color throughout the year
- Rocky Mountain Juniper is generally slower growing
- Rocky Mountain Juniper is less tolerant of shade
- Rocky Mountain Juniper is much more susceptible to disease in humid areas, but we don’t have to worry about that here in NE CO.
