Juniperus chinensis 'Kaizuka' = Torulosa
Hollywood juniper
Notes:
Irregular, twisted branches arising out of a dense center, somewhat akin to a flame. Every specimen will look different.
Resistant to cypress tip miner, but I can find no evidence of resistance to any of the other usual juniper pests and diseases.
