Juniperus procumbens
Japanese garden juniper
Notes:
AKA J. chinensis var. procumbens.
Branches do not root as they go like the creeping junipers do (J. conferta and J. horizontalis).
Resistant to Kabatina tip blight and cedar-apple and cedar-hawthorn rusts; intermediate susceptibility to juniper webworm.
'Nana' is more dwarf than the species; susceptible to Phytophthora root rot (no data on the species or other cvs.).
