Hi, I'm looking for help to ID both of these junipers please. I've done several searches here but keep coming up blank. They are both cuttings from old landscape shrubs I took and have juvenile foliage present. (Vancouver, BC). When both get lots of sun, their colours really come out: one is very blue/ green the other gets quite golden.

Golden mop false cypress a possibly for the one on the left?

The left is old gold media and the right one sabina tamariscifolia. Both sabina hybrids.

Thanks so much...

I agree the yellowish one is probably Old Gold. Not too many juniper cultivars have that coloring, and Old Gold's been around the longest. The bluish green one is honestly much harder to ID with certainty. So many green juniper cultivars look alike. If a branch's mature foliage primarily fans out on a single plane, develops resin dots, and smells a little of cat pee when rubbed, it could very well be a Tamariscifolia. If not, it could be any number of cultivars. It's especially hard to tell with such a young specimen.
