Juniperus squamata 'Prostrata' / Prostrate Singleseed Juniper

Prostrate form with Blue foliage that eventually mounds in the center. This species is resistant to Phomopsis tip blight that is so troubling with the Juniperus horizontalis cultivars. Often confused with Juniperus procumbens that is NOT resistant to phomopsis needle blight.
