Semidesert conifers (Volume 3 Junipers)
The Juniper file seems to be also a dazzling new adventure in conifering. Some low known species could have a nice future. Arizonica Arboretum is z6, me z5-6, other cultivars z6-7. Further looking, this selections are extraordinary drought tolerant, even their species comes not from semideserts.
I'd like to give a special care later to Juniperus chinensis (and others in the circle), which are also good drought tolerants, despite of not desert plants.
Junipers will be a mixture of really semidesert cultivars and extremely drought tolerant clones of other junipers.

Juniperus communis ÂCitromos Galaxis in the meaning of Lemon Galaxy
Published 2010 Mesterházy in Conifer Treasury of Hungary 1.0
Breeder/Found 2009 Mesterházy Zsolt in Erdõtarcsa HUN
Introduced 1987 Mesterházy Pinetum, Erdõtarcsa HUN as Juniperus communis saxatilis ÂJeddelohÂ
Description A soup-plate-like circle, 1 m high and 4 m diameter at an age of 23 years. Gives a lemonade sight in spring. I bought this beauty in Litomysl CZ in the mid 80Âs. Some years ago I send a copy of this to Sabine zu Jeddeloh, but they never heard about this plant. Maybe the grandfather left no notes, or it was only renamed in Litomysl  I guess I will never be informed about this story. Not long ago I supervised the plant, and I saw, the main thunk is going round, and round again, just like a galaxy on the heaven. After supervising I decided to introduce it because of the familiar charme, kindly habit, optimistic character I canÂt enjoy it only alone.
