Wonderful tree mate! Excellent progress.

I'm going with Shimpaku also thought, squamatas arent a scale juniper :).

Thats a very nice pot the semis in :whistle:

John, they look very much like what are called procumbens over here, especially with the mature and immature foliage. Which I have not seen happen with the Squamatas here.

Very nice trees and my size too.

Cheers Pup
