Juniperus chinensis Echiniformis Zimbabwe held 1' above the foliage

held 1' above the foliage in midsummer

tapering leaves that arch on long petioles

Juniperus chinensis Echiniformis Zimbabwe held 1' above the foliageJuniperus chinensis 'Echiniformis' is one of the finest junipers ever introduced for the rock garden due to its insanely slow growth 2' tall x 2' wide in 25 years.

There's good reason no sane nursery would ever offer such a slow growing plant!
