Pencil Point juniper needles #625688

Asked April 20, 2020, 1:20 PM EDT

Are the needles on the "Pencil Point" variety of juniper soft-ish or prickly? If prickly, are they too prickly to touch with bare hands? Thank you.

Hi,
I have never touched this particular juniper before so am not sure how prickly it is but looking closer at the foliage, it does look like a prickly one. My suggestion would be to find a local nursery who carries it and then call them and ask them about it. Since it is really narrow, you might not find yourself touching it that often.
