Juniper ID
Picked up a bit of nursery stock dirt cheap but it was only marked as juniperus.

Re: Juniper ID
To my amateur eyes it looks like a Shimpaku Juniper with the juvenile needles amongst the scaley foliage.

Re: Juniper ID
Definitly J chinensis. Could be 'San Jose' or could be one of the upright types like ''Robusta Green''

Re: Juniper ID
Yeah chinensis was my first thought but the juvenile foliage is quite short a la Squamata.
