Another big juniper! ID HELP?

Yea I don't plan on touching it for a while. I have a bunch of other stuff to distract me from this tree lol. Plus I think I need to stare at it for a LONG time so I don't mess it up lol
Thanks guys!

See how dense the adult foliage is? Pinched.
See all the juvenile foliage? Cut something off and it back buds like crazy. Didn't have juvenile foliage when I got it.
If you want it to get real blue feed it with miracle grow. And once a month put a tablespoon of Epsom salts in your fertilizer.I do this to all evergreen trees. Even hinoki cypress and procumbens junipers get a blue tinge.
 
That's a good idea. I'll have to see what mine looks like after I wire some of those branches down and see what I'm working with here. This is my first "scaley" juniper so I assume it will be a challenge.
 
Do you think I should cut that top off or let it fill out. I left it for now to see what happens... Lol

But I like the idea of it, err.....um..... coming off.

Seems like it should rest a season - Perhaps the upper left could be bent into a downward spiral and made to jin rather then chop. Just an option but impossible to call not standing there.
