I bought a plant at a local nursery labeled Cupressus sempervirens. It is
bluish and has a fanatically fastigiate growth habit. However, when I got a close
look, it has almost all needles and looks like a juniper. At first I thought
it might be a juvenile, but it is 18 inches tall and no baby seedling. I had a
C. s. 'Swane's Golden,' and it had all scales from day one.
This thing reminds me of J. scopulorum 'Blue Spire,' but it's hard to tell
from pictures on the Web. Of course it is not going to oblige me by producing
cones in March. It is not J. communis. The needles are much shorter. It has been
happily growing under lights for the past couple months, but I don't know
what that proves.
Any idea what I've got?
