Juniperus
communis (Common Juniper) Cupressaceae (Cypress Family) Montane, sub-alpine. Woodlands, openings. Spring. These Junipers, found in many northern countries of the world, creep low to the ground and spread to seven feet in diameter. This specimen is growing right at tree-line and is only eight inches tall; those growing at lower altitude are commonly two-to-four feet high. In his Species Plantarum of 1753, Linnaeus named both the Juniperus genus and this species. |
