Re: My littly Cyprus
I'd say that is a juniper, Firecat. Hard to tell many of them apart also complicated by the fact that nurseries have been selling many under different names at different times but I'll take a punt and say it is a variety of Juniperus chinensis
There are several variegated juniper varieties that have more or less gold or white patches of foliage. There are also a few that are golden on the new tips.
Maybe someone else has a more definite ID?
