Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Blue Lagoon Shore Juniper. This is a newer introduction from the U. S. National Arboretum which has a similar color to 'Blue Pacific' but has a lower profile. It was introduced in 1992 from a collection made by Dr. John L. Creech, the director. This plant was found in 1976 at the Aritaki Arboretum, Saitama-Ken, Japan where it was being evaluated. Following nine years of evaluation, it was introduced. As with the species, it is very drought tolerant and also salt tolerant, making it ideal for coastal plantings, but its most endearing qualities is its 6" profile and blue-green color, which is more intense during colder months. This species of Shore Junipers will also tolerate some shade as well as full sun. I have seen it growing in some gardens which I thought were far to shady to grow any species, and it was thriving.
