Welchii is listed by The Daniels Nursery as a grafted juniper, not a fruit cultivar. The 1950 catalog places it in the evergreen section under “The Grafted Junipers” and calls it one of the newest silver varieties [S1].
The description is brief. Daniels says Welchii equals or surpasses Chandler’s in color, so it was likely valued for silver ornamental foliage [S1]. It is also described as more compact, with upright or vertical growth in the new tips [S1].
No available source gives parentage, breeder, origin, release date, hardiness zone, fruit traits, culinary use, disease behavior, or later breeding role. Its relevance to Pomologica is uncertain because the evidence supports an ornamental juniper identity rather than an edible fruiting cultivar.
