Young green and mature purple berries can be seen growing on the same plant. Unlike the separated and woody scales of a typical pine cone, those in a juniper berry remain fleshy and merge into a unified covering surrounding the seeds. Juniper berries are sometimes regarded as arils, [3] like the berry-like cones of yews.
The cones are berry-like, globose to bilobed, 5–7 mm (3 ⁄ 16 – 9 ⁄ 32 in) in diameter, dark blue with a pale blue-white waxy bloom, and contain two seeds (rarely one or three); they usually have a curved stem and are mature in about 18 months. The male cones are 2–4 mm (3 ⁄ 32 – 5 ⁄ 32 in) long

The cones are berry-like, 5–10 mm in diameter, blue-brown with a whitish waxy bloom, [2] and mature in about 18 months. The male cones are 2–4 mm long and shed their pollen in early spring. The plants are about half monoecious (with both sexes on the same plant) and half dioecious (producing cones of only one sex).
