Gareth, thanks for the post and the link. I don't think it's a 'conferta', though, but you did give me an idea...I could actually google/research this stuff myself (DUH!). Anyway, the foliage on my tree most closely resembles that of a J. squamata 'Blue Star'. I'm not 100% sure its actually a 'Blue Star', as it would be the largest specimen of this cultivar I've ever seen, including trees planted in the landscape. I wish now that I'd taken a pic of the tree before working on it as you all could have seen the growth habit more clearly. Still, I do feel comfortable calling it a squamata. Thanks for all the input.
