Now I need to get both! I have been having moderate success in germinating other juniper varieties I can not acquire. Have you tried before? Half of my most recent batch was just eaten by rats in the middle of the night. Very sad. The rocky mountain junipers were starting to sprout too.A very close relative is J. rigida subsp. 'conferta'. In appearance it is very similar, but the needles are not as hard and sharp. It is actually found pretty broadly in nurseries as J. conferta "Blue Pacific". I believe the cultivar originated at Iseli.

might just be labeled "Blue Pacific".
I have 12 fairly immature Juniperus rigida ranging from 12”-24” tall. How large of a trunk were you looking for?Pre-bonsai preferably but, I will take anything if anyone knows of a good vendor.

just a little whip, maybe 3 inches thick? Send me more info! This is a very old thread and I am happy to get a response!!!I have 12 fairly immature Juniperus rigida ranging from 12”-24” tall. How large of a trunk were you looking for?
Since my original reply to your post, I’ve decided that trying to sell these immature trees now at a high enough price to make a reasonable profit, might appear like I was trying to rip people off. I decided that planting them in the garden would create more sellable trees. I planted my trees in Anderson flats and placed them in the garden thinking the containers will retain a nice wide rootball while still allowing some roots to escape (hopefully increasing the mass of the trees more quickly).just a little whip, maybe 3 inches thick?

More commonly know as Foemina juniper also available in many sizes from my nursery.Juniperus rigida is not common in North America.
For a "spikey" experience, consider using Juniperus chinensis 'Fudo', it is a needle form of the Shimpaku. It is the cultivar used to make 'Goshin' by John Naka.
