They are tolerant of most soils and conditions and are fully hardy. Both male and female plants are needed to produce berries on the female plant.

Juniperus chinensis ‘Blue Alps’ has striking blue-grey foliage and a dense, upright habit. The new shoots weep slightly at the tips. It is a relatively fast grower but does not grow too large.
