Juniper is any of about 60 to 70 species of aromatic evergreen trees or shrubs, constituting the genus Juniperus of the cypress family (Cupressaceae), distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

The juvenile leaves of a juniper are needle-like.

Mature leaves are awl-shaped, spreading, and arranged in pairs or in whorls of three.

Some species have small scale-like leaves, often bearing an oil gland, which are pressed closely to the rounded or four-angled branchlets.

Male and female reproductive structures usually are borne on separate plants.

The reddish brown or bluish cones are fleshy and berrylike and often have a grayish waxy covering.

They mature in one to three seasons and contain 1 to 12 seeds, usually 3.

Water young shrubs well and mulch with pine needles or bark mulch to keep the soil evenly moist and weeds at bay.

Fertilize in spring with a layer of compost and an organic plant food for evergreens.

Prune junipers in spring after a spurt of new growth to shape the plant and remove dead, broken or diseased branches.

Junipers perform best in full sun, but can tolerate shade. Also, junipers do not like wet locations and prefer well-drained soil.
