Juniperus squamata 'Loderi' is a broad, upright selection of Ping's juniper that can grow to mature heights of 6 to 10 feet (2 - 3 m) tall, a yearly growth rate of 6 to 8 inches (12 - 20 cm).
[ Ken Church ] Encouraging the plant to develop a dominant leader will perhaps contribute to a narrower form than the one pictured.
[ Larry Stanley ] Plant grows straight up with a dominant leader but all other branches ascend also. Leaves compressed and a green-blue color. Plant looks like a skyscraper. Very good plant for Bonsai and miniature railroad.
This cultivar was introduced by Sir Edmund Loder, England around 1932. This conifer is often seen listed in error as a cultivar of Juniperus squamata.
