[ Ken Church ] While there does not appear to be much information on this plant the specimen pictured invites propagation. The plant pictured would appear to have a mounding center and modest spreading habit and a good rich color.

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the mid-1960s by Le Feber Nursery, Boskoop, The Netherlands. This conifer is known to be mistakenly listed under Juniperus squamata and J. chinensis.
