J. procumbens nana
This pro. nana belongs to a friend. She left it with me to do a little touch-up and photograph it for her.
The origin of this juniper was from wholesale nursery stock that was used for harvesting cuttings. I guess it's age to be 30 years +. Height from pot rim is about 12 inches.

Nice tree, Mike!
I love the movement and the trunk is showing its health. Not too bad for a cutting mill.  -Wm

This is the second time I 've heard that a beautiful tree was once previously used as a cutting source for a nursery operation. How common is this practice?
I know one local guy who does it with a bird's nest spruce. Very nice tree. |

I really like this tree,...great trunk, good balance, appearance of age is getting there.
Though if I may nitpick (remember this is coming from a guy who would trade pretty much his entire collection for this tree, lol ) I feel like the apex could be dropped by about 1/5 to 1/6 of the total foliage mass. The tree has a very linear dynamic from side to side, that would be even more clearly stated with a narrower foliage mass. Just my 2 pennies worth.
