41 Utah Juniper

Utah Juniper, Juniperus Osteosperma

This is an upright juniper that grows in the Midwestern and Rocky Mountain regions of western North America and is tolerant of drought and alkaline soils. It has gray fibrous shreddy bark and marble sized berries that are bluish with a powdery coating. It is often confused with the Rocky Mountain Juniper because they are so similar. This tree is suited for rocky sites with no major pests observed.
