Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum)
The Rocky Mountain juniper is a graceful ornamental, often with a narrow crown of drooping foliage. It does well in rocky soils, especially on limestone and lava outcrops, in open woodlands at the lower border of trees to the north, and in foothills with pinyons to the south. Its cones are berrylike, bright blue with a whitish coat. Wildlife eat these "berries."
Did you know? The aromatic wood is especially suited for cedar chests and is also used for lumber, fence posts and fuel.
