You have two native junipers, "the scaly one" is* Juniperus horizontalis, *"the spiny one*"* is *Juniperus communis. * See the NS Museum document for its range: https://ojs.library.dal.ca/NSM/article/view/4873/4390 Not often are you able to see both on the same walk, usually somewhere coastal in NS.
