Can anyone show me a closeup of juniper foliage so I'll know if I'm mistaken about the species of my bonsai?

I just checked but Google is working fine - so it won't be too hard fo find close ups of the various types of scale or needle juniper foliage.

Hi there Boba_Fett,

I´m posting here three pictures of different spruces for you to compare it with your own. Hopefully, it might shed some light on your doubts.

Hope it helps,

Alain

Well, yes he did ask for junipers pictures... my mistake. Anyways, it´s not a vain effort, if the tree he possesses it´s not a spruce there won´t be a positive match... He´ll know it´s not a spruce, that of course, will not rule out a juniper ;-) That will be a new task for him after all ;-)
