Common juniper leaves are all of the same prickly kind: there aren't any scale-like leaves (though there are in other junipers). Photo of this clone was taken in 2006. By 2011 the clone disappeared leaving behind only 2-3 tiny branchlets (see the next photo). This is a common fate of common junipers in Massachusetts, which has recently become much more forested and much less suitable for such sun-loving woody plants.
