<h3>2. How much space do I need to plant a Blue Arrow Juniper?</h3>
<p>This juniper variety typically reaches up to 15 feet in height and 2-3 feet in width. Planting them at least 3 feet apart from each other or any structure is advisable to allow for growth and air circulation, which helps maintain plant health and aesthetic form.</p>
<h3>3. How do I care for my Blue Arrow Juniper?</h3>
