What type of Juniper is this?

Hello All, can anyone help with identifying this Juniper? Bought at a charity event and there was no label so I took a chance but need to know variety in case it could grow really tall! Cheers Neil

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Neillupin. I think you will find only your local Forrestry Commission will be able to give you a proper ID. At this point I would suggest it's the Common Juniper and they grow up to 10 metres in height.

 

Welcome to the forums!

This may help.
You need to look at the needles.

Thanks both. The specimen I have is pretty upright and is about 3 feet tall. Could it be a Juniperus Hibernica??

 

,

The full name is Juniperus communis Hibernica.
It is a named form if J. communis.
Hibernica is a very dense, narrowly columnar variety/form ...which yours is not.
From your pics I would have said yours was the common Juniperus communis.
But have you checked closely the needles in the link I added?
