When I brought this plant from the nursery it was labeled as “Silver Pine”. Now this is a young tree so he Needles don’t quite look silver, but some older trees of the same type has a bluish/silverish hue. I did a bunch of research but somehow could not find the tree online. The closest I came to was Juniperus Squamata.

Can anyone confirm this?

I am afraid this looks very different... anyhow I will keep looking. Perhaps will call the nursery and check if they have better information.

Again I don’t think so... the needles are quite different... not as Long... and the tips are silverish ... hence labels as “silver pine” at the nursery... see this pic.

Look up different cultivars for both species ;)

My last idea is Juniperus conferta, besides that it could be a cultivar of something else.

Or.. J. procumbens (Nana), but now I’m really out! I hope you’ll get the correct ID somehow.
