Juniper haircut is not accurate. it is his natural form. Here are other instances beside him. I believe that it is the seedlings Juniperus excelsa. I'll try next time to take pictures in more detail

In which part of Russia are these photos taken and what hardiness zone is for that area?

I live in Krasnodar, south Russia is. zone 6

Agree it looks like Juniperus excelsa

Looking to other photos via Google, the one's at your photos look like Juniperus excelsa indeed.

The one's planten are sheared at the nursery before they got planted there.
All are nice one single leader specimens.

You write that you're living in Krasnodar, zone 6.
Is this zone 6 because you're close to the Black Sea?

It seems that Abies nordmanniana and Picea orientalis are growing in higher elevations forest in your area.
Did you ever checked this area for special trees and witches brooms, just like Jari from Finland is doing?

we have a rich local flora. I was looking for a broom. I think they should look for in estetsvenno habitat in the mountains.

yes it is a zone 6, maybe 7. winter we have enough hodolnye. cedars die.

Thank you all for participating.

Yes, you've to look in the higher elevations (the mountains) for finding brooms in your native conifers.

It looks that you've the same zone as I've in The Netherlands.
This surprised me at first, but a map showed me that you're near to the black see, which is the cause of a milder climate.

Do you also have a conifer collection?
If so, would you show us some photos of it in a new topic?
Thanks in advance!

coniferjoy, thank you!
I recently started collecting conifers. I still have a small collection, mainly the most extended ones of species and varieties.ÃÂðÃÂÃÂõýøàõÃÂõ üðûõýÃÂúøõ, àõÃÂõ ýõ ÃÂÃÂÿõû þÃÂþÃÂüøÃÂàûðýôÃÂðÃÂÃÂ.
