Abstract
The main morphological features that make it possible to identify the majority of the creeping juniper ornamental forms (Juniperus horizontalis Moench.), are the needle color and the habit of the plants. When identifying cultivars similar in these features, one should take into account the type of needles, the position of the first-order branchlets and the density of their placement on branches, the length of the penultimate and last order branchlets, the color of growing and lignified sprays, the aroma of needles during trituration.
