Subject: [CHAT] Groundcover juniper
Last week I visited a botanical garden where I saw a juniper that might 
be what I want for my newly cleared area. I want something very low
growing that will not trap bushels of dead sycamore leaves like the last plantings there did. I need something that can handle the shade - this 
little area is on the north side of my house plus the sycamore shades
much of it in the afternoon.
So in the fuschia garden of this place was a very low growing juniper, less than 4 inches high, more of a juniper mat. There was no identifying tag or anyone around we could ask. Any thoughts on what it might be? I have googled "prostrate juniper" but so far all the descriptions are for 
ones up to 12", and that's too tall.
