A novice question about juniper branch arrangement

Post by dragonland_88 »

Hey all i know there are a lot of different types of Junipers out there, all i would like to know is what should the branch look like from the top and side view.

its a really novice question but i can not get a straight answer from anybody, everybody beats around the bush as though they have no idea as well

can someone send me a picture of what a juniper branch should look like, top and side view if available so i can see the foliage arrangement.


thanks heaps guys.
