Dirr describes Broadmoor thus:

"A dwarf, low-spreading, staminate form which looks like a neat form of var.
TAMARISCIFOLIA when young, but the plant tends to build up at the center
with age, the main branches are strong and horizontally spreading; the
branchlets short and reaching upwards; the sprays very short, occurring
mainly on the upper side of the branches; the foliage is a soft grayish
green and is resistant to juniper blight; this clone as well as 'Arcadia'
and 'Skandia' were selected from many thousands of seedlings raised by D.
Hill Nursery Co., Dundee, IL from seed imported from near Petersburgh,
Russia in 1933; all have proved resistant to juniper blight; Zone 4; will
grow 2 to 3' high and 10' wide or more..." Staminate describes an imperfect
flower with only functional stamens, male.

I have found nothing to indicate 'Broadmoor' is anything other than
dioecious, as are the vast majority of Savin and most other juniper

species.

But given that it is dioecious, Iris Cohen wanted to know if the clone
that is sold is a clone of a male or female plant. I can't find any
reference that tells the sex of any of the juniper cultivars. I must
admit that I have never seen any berries on any of my juniper cultivars.
