I am trying to add the photos, but it won't let me.  I will keep trying. :)

I do, and it uploads and acts like it is going to post but then refreshes and takes me back to this discussion post (without posting photos)

Did you try adding them in the comments?

And if that does’t work, try reducing the size of the pix.

I have tried all of the suggested ways, but still no luck.  Reducing the file size isn't working either. I will try to send them to my computer and see if I can post from there.

there is one pic ... i see a lot of things that arent juniper.. and the 2 j's are barely in the pic ...

looks like the good old days when i would get a flat of plants from stanley .. i miss those days ...

ken

btw... houzz is being really weird today.. dont take it personally ...

oh carp .... that killers pic ...

YEAH , way to read !

I was able to upload 3 out of the 4 photos by using my Mac. Better than nothing I suppose. They are in the original post now.   But I read that the app has problems with Android, so that may be why the photos weren't uploading.

Well this is odd. I still don’t see the pix but when I look at the list of posts in the Conifer Forum it shows there is a pic in yours but when I click on the post, no pix. Maybe add them in a comment,

That worked but, unfortunately I’m not sure what they are.

conifers are trees.. as such they really never stop growing ... in your lifetime anyway ...

all have a known annual growth rate ... and you can predict eventual size based on such.. e.g. if it grows a foot a year.. in ten years.. it will be 10 feet.. and in 20.. 20 feet ... etc ...

yours being dug and potted and generally abused.. will show lesser growth rates based on said stress ..

the 'tell' between years of growth.. is bark ...

that said.. in the third pic from the bottom ... you can see this years growth .. the stem is still green ... but the stem or branch it is attached to is now brown ... that is the previous years growth.. in the third year.. it becomes thicker and courser... take a close look and see if you can start seeing it ... let me know ..

i also dont know all the names to the million of different Js ... but if this wasnt in a tall pot.. it appears to be a rather low growing form ... rather than a plant with a straight up leader ... but it will heap upon itself over the decades ... and it will get taller ... and widen ...

thats the best i can offer in predicting its future potential... if someone does come along and give you the cultivar name.. we can google up some pix of older plants ...

one thing for sure.. imo.. 8 to 10 feet from the house ... unless you want to be pruning it often ...

The above is rather confusing and not particularly helpful. Not ALL conifers are trees by any stretch of the imagination!! Junipers can present in all forms - groundcovers, shrubs and trees.

You photos seem to indicate all are spreading shrub forms and as such, are measured by horizontal spread, not height. But I agree with tj that the photos are not distinct enough to determine conclusively what species and cultivar they may be.

Pfitzer and savin junipers tend to be the largest of the shrubby forms so to be on the safe side, you might want to site according to their mature dimensions........upto 10' wide and around 5' tall.

I would also make sure I sited these where any pruning would be unnecessary. It is hard to keep a juniper well pruned and looking good at the same time :-)

whats not helpful are gratuitous insults that serve no purpose than to inflate your ego ...

after which you go on and basically agree with the rest .. lol ..

Feel free to think whatever you like. You often make factually incorrect statements ("all conifers are trees") and then go on to comment that the height in 10 years will be double that in 20 years. In some cases that might well be true but in this case it is just misleading and inaccurate. If you consider that a "gratuitous insult", that's your problem! In my book that is just correcting a confusing misstatement.

I have no need to "inflate my ego", thank you very much. Now THAT is a gratuitous insult!!
