    Hello all,
    Can anyone identify this tree for me? We have one just like it growing in front of our house in Powell River. It is about 30feet tall. We were told that it is a Golden Juniper but my internet searches seem to indicate that it is not. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Gary.

    Dozens of these have been selected and named, however from the extent of yellow coloring, spray shape and orientation I'm thinking this one might be 'Lutea'.
