Hello everyone

For me whilst pines are my favorites, I'd have to rank good matured yamadori junipers hard to beat such as the Sierra Junipers native to western US.

That leads me to what type Junipers do people have here in Australia? Love to know all the varieties from common ones to the more exotic.

Photo and type would be great to see.

I'll start. Whilst certainly not rare and exotic here is one that I have(as in another post)

Juniperus Davurica

Interesting subject.

As we have no Native Junipers in australia, we thus have no Yamadori ones either.
We have many field grown trees, from some of our growers coming to market now, and some pretty nice garden collected ones as well.

Juniper Chinensis "Sargentii" and Procumbens are the 2 commonest and Sabina as the collected ones

Ken

Surely there must be more including their cultivars or others growing ones from seed?

Even common homegrown species, let's see what people have grown and developed?

Including variegation!

Hi inspired,
This is one of my Juniperus Squamata Prostrata.

That's some healthy dense pad you have there Ray. Nice curve to your trunkline too in a nice snug pot.

How old is your Squamata?

Hi Inspired,
It would be about 20 years old.

Looks great, is that a Pat Kennedy pot?

Hi Mount Nasura,
Yes mate. I bought this one off Pat quite a few years ago.

Regards Ray

Here's a couple of mine, ranging in height from 24cm t0 50cm, and species. Procumbens, foemina, shimpaku.

Junipers scale and needle are grown here you see them in garden centres, but what genus?
Who removed a heap of them recently from a nature strip. Ask him.

Hi Pup that is a nice collection of Junipers you have with nice sharis.

Can you tell us more about the foemina? This is the first time I have seen it which is great that they are here

What about the Shimpy? How long did it take you to bring it to its current state? I have 2 little ones still in its pot and they are nite crawlers at best. Should ground them really.

The middle Procumbens has a big trunk that seems to taper off with no visible trunk chop.. very nice with detailed shari also and the last one nice and quirky

Great stuff thank you
