[SOLVED] I.D please

Post by Craig.a.c »

While I was wandering around a local nursery today, the gentlemen that works there asked me what I was looking for. I told him that I have a new found interest in Bonsai. As I was about to leave after picking out an unknown Juniper (didn't think to ask him what type it was) he asked if I would like the plant pictured below, (he had 2 of them in his hands). I asked how much he wanted for them and he said "nothing, I was going to throw 'em out". Once again I didn't think to ask for an I.D.

This is the second one.

I am thinking of removing everything above the first branch, not sure yet.

Most junipers seem to have very similar foilage, these are very different.
Thanks Jamie.

no probs mate, and yea this foliage is different, i think you could call it a needle type juniper, i think it is called needle juniper over in america, dont quote me on that though i could be wrong.

but it is def. a shore juniper.
