I’ll start this off with a rare variety I found incredibly inspiring:  
Juniperus Brevifolia (Azores Juniper) is native only to the islands of the Azores (in the Atlantic ocean) and is very slow growing.

There’s a bushy variety that grows close to the shores (also a lot younger)

And then there’s the mountainous variety at an altitude of 250-800 meters. These must be ancient!
