Mother Lode Juniper - Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother Lode'

The Mother Lode Juniper is a surprisingly a great dwarf shrub for the miniature garden. A great candidate for Bonsai artists, so we can be confident that it's a perfect shrub for containers, and can handle frequent pruning.

It's a ground cover shrub so it stays low to the ground, the new growth reaches out slowly, never upwards - only sideways, and it's easy to control in a miniature garden setting. Just trim and/or direct it where you want.
