this plant volunteered in a flower bed of a friend in central Minnesota. It was replanted then in a coffee can where it grew nicely. We would like to find out what it is. Then find a suitable spot in the yard. Or should we replant it to a bigger pot and let it grow more before transplanting? If you need more pictures let us know. There is no similar tree in the yard.
In eastern North America the common one like this is Juniperus virginiana; otherwise superficially similar J. chinensis may come up on its own also. With it perhaps being possible that one of these in unexpected in a Minnesota location.
