There are also several sources within the landscape / horticultural industries that still list Skyrocket Juniper as a member of the Juniperus virginiana family - but proper classification of this variety would put them in the J. Skyrocket has been around for years.whereas Blue Arrow is a fairly recent market introduction.
We choose to grow Skyrocket, and market them as such, due to the fact that Skyrocket was the first of the two varieties ( Skyrocket & Blue Arrow ) to be introduced & developed. We noticed absolutely NO distinctions between the two, no differences to speak of whatsoever. We have grown specimens that were labeled as both Skyrocket, as well as Blue Arrow - multiple specimens of each, and all were grown within close proximity to one another. Our opinion / stance on this subject is that the two names are synonymous, and both pertain to the same plant variety. There are several opinions as to whether there is any difference between the two varieties, or whether they are even two separate varieties at all. There is much confusion out there in regards to the Skyrocket juniper variety versus another variety called Blue Arrow Juniper. Beautifully elegant for use around large entryways, gates, or even just to hide that old gutter downspout. The tallest, narrowest juniper out there. It's a very striking, dramatic plant when used as a cluster planting against a large fence or building or in formal plantings. Its short, compact, silvery blue foliage is evergreen with virtually no change from season to season. This plant has a tall and extremely narrow, columnar growth habit.
