Wichita Blue Juniper (juniperus scopulorum)

This is the "Wichita Blue" cultivar of Rocky Mountain Juniper (juniperus scopulorum) growing in middle Tennessee. Is suffers some minor effect from a pathogen that i believe is phomopsis tip blight. Possibly caused by the sprinkler getting the foliage wet too often. I bought this at Lowe&and I would say this is a slow growing species, so not the best choice for a quick privacy screen.
