Blue Point Juniper

Blue Point Juniper | Nature Hills Nursery: "When you think of a classic evergreen shrub that stands watch by a doorway, or gives weight to the corners of a border, you are thinking of the Blue Point Juniper. Formal, but not rigid, Blue Point takes what is best of a background evergreen and showcases it.

The color stays an exceptional blue-green year-round providing a perfect stage for more colorful annuals and perennials. The shape is naturally a soft pyramid, but Blue Point takes a good shearing like a pro and can be shaped any way you would like. Many of Nature Hills customers train Blue Point into a spiral or a formal cone."

American Holly Tree

American Holly Tree : "The American Holly (Ilex opaca) also called the White Holly or Christmas Holly, is the most familiar holly.  It is a small tree or shrub with striking evergreen foliage that's perfect for a privacy hedge.

The American Holly is easy to identify. It has thick, smooth, dark green, spiny leaves that are a yellowish green underneath. Unlike some hollies, the American Holly keeps its foliage from top to bottom for the life of the tree. It can easily reach a height of 50' with a 35' spread.

Great for a privacy hedge and noise barrier, but its natural pyramidal shape also makes it a perfect ornamental tree for any yard for full sun to part shade."
