Trees for Exposed Sites: Juniper (Juniperus communis)

Juniper is one of our oldest plants but is now in serious decline. It is a small, slow growing, and short lived evergreen (up to 100 years), and is a pioneer species disliking the shade. Juniper's habit can vary markedly; in exposed conditions it is a low scraggy bush, but can grow to a neat column. Generally it is associated with light, well-drained soils. Its dense spiky habit provides a winter roost for birds and cover for small mammals, which also feed on its berries.
Juniper berries were most famously known for flavouring gin, but its oil was also used, as an abortifacient, and crushed up plant given to horses as a pick-me-up. It burns with a pleasant cedar fragrance.
Provenance certificates are available on request for Juniper plants, which are from the Southwest of England.
