Widely adapted to soils, except those that are wet
Diagnostic Characteristics:
Whitish blue-green to steel blue overlapping, curved, awl-shaped leaves (1/8-1/6" long) in whorls of 3 and with 2 gray to white bands. Ellipsoidal cone (0.25-0.3" long) contains a single ridged seed.
'Meyeri' is a dense, bushy female cultivar that has striking steel-blue foliage. Unfortunately, this cultivar retains dead needles on its branches and can become unattractive with age. This plant gained its "Singleseed Juniper" common name from the individual seed borne by each cone. Widely adapted to soils and climates. Does well in alkaline soils, but not wet soils. Susceptible to bagworms.
