Juniperus communis or Juniper belongs to a species that can grow as tall as twenty metres high, depending on the type. Although usually found isolated, this tree is very cosmopolitan and adapts to all types of soils: from clay to siliceous limestone soils. It grows from Europe to North Africa, Asia, and North America. This particular species is a bushy shrub with very slow radial growth. The stems have prickly leaves that are short evergreen needle-shaped, with one stripe in the middle of the upper face. Its thin and rough bark is greyish-brown.[1]
