Sometime the idea does not come to mind, especially at about 2 am. But it is good to know that I am in good hands and being put into the right direction.

Oh it's spring here, we had a really early spring though, so actually it's timing was about right. We thought it was a juniperus virginiana, but those are darker green, and the leaves are thicker, perhaps do to this ones youth, or temperament. We really have no idea of the others' age, they were found in the shade.
As for shape, perhaps, a not so formal upright.

hopefully yes. It did grow quite a bit, last summer, far outgrew the rest (well three), but they were older transplants. This year, i might try and keep it short, and let the bottom branches grow out. It sounds, to me any way, a delicate situation. Can't nip to many buds, or the roots will suffer ... if it gets taller, it gets taller, but, bigger bottom branches, would be nice.
Yes, i know, patience.

It's a juniper, beat them up, and they come back smiling. :silly:
