Juniperus (Juniper)

Juniperus is a genus of evergreen coniferous trees and shrubs in the cypress family. They are native to the Northern Hemisphere and are known for their needle-like foliage and small, berry-like cones. Junipers vary in size and shape, with some species growing as tall trees and others forming low, spreading shrubs. They are popular for use in landscaping, as they are often drought-tolerant and have a wide range of cultivars available.
