I'm trying to get a itogiawa juniper but I might get a blaauw I need to see what my local garden centers have. I have cuttings from a sabina juniper I took last year not sure that would work

Does this meet the allowed requirements

Would these count (the variegated ones)? I think they are some form of Chinese juniper.

I just happened to take a few cuttings a couple weeks ago.

Yes, any Chinese juniper works.
