American Conifer Society: Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother Lode' is a creeping, flat, low-growing, coniferous, evergreen shrub which features brilliant gold foliage changing to a golden bronze in winter. Grown primarily as a ground cover, the soft, feathery, scale-like foliage of this unique cultivar will eventually spread 8-10' (2.4 x 3 m) but will only rise 4" (.1 m) off the ground. Creeping branches root as they grow along the ground. Fleshy seed cones (berries) are infrequently produced. Species is commonly called creeping juniper.
Prostrate, slow grower. From iseli nursery in OR. Planted in front garden, near driveway. spread 8-10', 4in. off the ground. Creeping branches root as they grow along the ground. Fleshy seed cones (berries) are infrequently produced. This is a sport of 'Wiltonii'. Grows much slower than Wiltonii. Planted in 2009. Trimmed Wiltonii and Mother Lode in 2019, usually trim them every year. Difficult to control the weeds even with fabric under the new growth.
