Oh, really? What does it look like?. It came from a class. I’m waiting until I get some more elongation to cut back and hopefully form some of the pads.The texture of the foliage doesn’t look like Shimpaku to me.
Someone told me the little specks were fungal. I bought mancozeb and miticide for the mites.Are you talking about the yellow foliage? Thats pretty normal for interior foliage to turn that color. Lack of adequate light can make it more visible. Old foliage doesn’t stay green forever (and evergreens aren’t really evergreen. They cycle through foliage that changes over time)
The specks might be mite damage (fungus doesn’t really make small spots) but the yellow piece in the center of the photo is old foliageSomeone told me the little specks were fungal. I bought mancozeb and miticide for the mites.
Thanks for clarifying. Also to speak to this, I found Bjorn’s video on Shimpaku and it helped me understand further so I wanted to share that here too.The specks might be mite damage (fungus doesn’t really make small spots) but the yellow piece in the center of the photo is old foliage

So strange I wonder if I dreamed it up, I’ll have to ask. Thanks.The scale growth is too lanky and sparse to look like shimpaku. It looks a lot like standard landscape chinensis growth.
Just to clarifying though Metalhead, a chinensis is considered shimpaku, no?The scale growth is too lanky and sparse to look like shimpaku. It looks a lot like standard landscape chinensis growth.
No Juniperus chinensis can be a number of varieties, not just shimpaku.Just to clarifying though Metalhead, a chinensis is considered shimpaku, no?
Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku' is a dwarf, irregular vase-shaped form of the Chinese juniper, Juniperus chinensis. Originally native to Japan, they were first collected in the 1850s in Japan
