On my 'nana''s, the new growth starts out ropy and scaly and then opens up
into needles. But, the needs aren't like pine needles at all-they are
triangular and stubby.... my website has some pictures of my (for sure)
nana's www.susanszoocrew.com (click on bonsai and scroll down there's
some pics)... maybe that will help

I am having a terrible time trying to tell whether I have a J. procumbens
'Nana' or J. squamata 'Prostrata.' I can't find any closeup pictures on the
Web.
This started out in the spring with needles, but now the foliage consists
of
little sprays of triangular sort-of-but-not-quite-scales, but it is
definitely
not ropy like Shimpaku. The ends tend to turn up just a little. It is
green,
not very bluish. It has been growing well in this heat. Is there any trick
to
tell the difference for sure?
