Re: Groundcover juniper

When I first read about this, I think it was found on the Olympic penninsula. So it must not need constant sun. That area is frequently foggy & overcast. In a hot area I think part sun would be ideal. It might grow more slowly in shade, but I bet it will grow. ----- Original Message ----- From: "james singer" <islandjim1@comcast.net>

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.
