´Candleabra´ is a unique, upright form of Rocky Mountain Juniper. It´s foliage is scale-like, rather than needles. This silver blue foliage covers branches that hang down from the trunk, then gracefully turn upward as they extend out - hence, the name. The graceful form and color of Candleabra make it a wonderful contrast to the other conifers in your garden. It is also a very effective backgraound for annuals and perennials of various colors.
