Help with Juniper ID please

Post by fossil finder »

Hi everyone
Found a juniper in the garden of a renovator we just bought. Is it what I hope it is? It is the lowest plant in middle right of a poor third image with grey fence behind. To its left is a couple of other juniper with yellowish tips (unknown sp). Having trouble inserting pics in text today so sorry in advance that the images are provided as attachments.

When the foliage is crushed in your fingers, does it smell like cats piddle? If it does it is most likely Sabina, but looking at it I would guess Juniper X media ?
