Common Juniper

Common Juniper

Common Juniper Juniperus communis is often a low-growing shrub which has sharp needles that are whitish on top and grow in threes. It does not have the cones typical of most conifers but its fruits are like little round blue-black berries. The foliage has an aromatic scent and it provides food for grouse and other creatures.
