This was barely more than a root cutting, rescued from my co-op garden, after they ripped everything out for a new planting, going on 15 years ago.

This one is doing well this growing season, but I have a feeling it will always be a struggle with fungus, until one year it doesn’t make it.
It makes me want to take some cuttings of my Kishu since it never seems to have any issues.

This Blau is looking feisty in its new pot IMO. A little sign of the dieback but much better than previous years. I might does it with some copper soon.

If 'blau' refers to the cultivar juniperus chinensis (or media, depending on who you ask) var Blaauw: it's not that. It looks like a horizontalis blue chip or blue rug, sometimes called wiltonii.
Blaauw tends to make puffy foliage immediately, with branchlets extending in four directions, instead of spreading out over a flat plane. The latter is a typical behavior for horizontalis. It would explain the basal dominance too.

I think you are right on horizontalis ‘blue chip’ or ‘blue rug’. I thought it might be Sargent juniper previously, but all I can say for sure is that it does have a blueish color which is why I claimed ‘blau’

I cleaned up this little guy.. I have an idea for where to go next, but saved some cutback for later when it has recovered.
