By the way, this juniper is very popular with us. It's actually the next best thing

Yes I agree. It is one of the most common used junipers for bonsai here
in Sweden.

FYI, there was a story going around some time ago that suggested the"Blaauwi" was
propagated from a sport by the above nursery. Whether or not that is true, I don't
know. Also, you wouldn't believe how many different ways "Baauw or Blaauwi" is
spelled!

I always thought it was a cross between Juniperus chinesis and Juniperus
sabina, hence the X media. But you might be right.
