In our area, California, there has been a lot of confusion with some
juniper names. Squamata prostrata has usually been connected to a
juniper that grows like San Jose with thick branches but more of the
scally type foliage. procumbens nana has thinner branchng and no
scaly type foliage. Again there is some confusion because I have seen
procumbens nana and procumbens nana compacta sold as nana. the
difference is in the size of foliage and co0mpactness of the growth.
