Looking for Juniperus Rigida

[Kdip]

Hi group. Does anyone know where I could find a Juniperus Rigida?

Thanks!
Kim

Where are you located? You need to narrow your search to at least a country.
How much are you wanting to spend? They’re not common in the US.

Apologies! I'm new to the group. I live in Georgia USA. I know, seems very uncommon. I'd like to keep below 1000. Thanks so much.

That helps! Add your location to your profile. Brussel’s Bonsai near Memphis may have some, but I haven’t been there in years. Check with Steve Cratty, Plant City Bonsai up in Clermont. Check with @Owen Reich too. He’s up near Nashville. He sold me this one; it would take a bit more than $1000 to let it go...never seen another IRL. Happy hunting!

Hi I'll update my profile. Appreciate the suggestions - I'll give them a try. Wow that is a beauty. Lucky you! Thanks, again!

For a small mail order plant, check Evergreen Gardenworks. It will need years of growing, but Brent is very likely to have them.

Also check Juniperus conferta. Very similar to Juniperus rigida... and much more broadly available.

It’s looking quite happy and has a much tighter canopy. That’s basically the only planting angle that really looks nice. Looking forward to seeing it in a tiny por one day; I have a few when you’re ready
