Juniper in weave is a traditional cladding technique used in Northern Europe, e.g. at Havrå, Norway. [30] Juniper berries are steam distilled to produce an essential oil that may vary from colorless to yellow or pale green. [31] Some of its chemical components are terpenoids and aromatic compounds, such as cadinene, a sesquiterpene. [32]
Juniperus communis, the common juniper, is a species of small tree or shrub in the cypress family Cupressaceae. ... It has needle-like leaves in whorls of three; ...
The whorled leaves are scale-like and closely appressed. Most plants are dioecious, but about 5–10% are monoecious. [1] Its fleshy and berry-like cones are 5–9 millimetres (3 ⁄ 16 – 3 ⁄ 8 inch) in diameter. [1] Its pollination period is May and June. [2] The seeds are wingless.
The leaves are scale-like, 2 to 5 millimetres (1 ⁄ 16 to 3 ⁄ 16 inch) long, and produced on rounded (not flattened) shoots. It is a dioecious species, with separate male and female plants. The seed cones are round, 3 to 5 mm ( 1 ⁄ 8 to 3 ⁄ 16 in) long, and soft, pulpy and berry -like, green at first, maturing purple about 8 months after ...
Juniperus virginiana foliage and mature cones. Juniperus virginiana is a dense slow-growing coniferous evergreen tree with a conical or subcylindrical shaped crown [8] that may never become more than a bush on poor soil, but is ordinarily from 5–20 metres (16–66 feet) tall, with a short trunk 30–100 centimetres (12–39 inches) in diameter, rarely to 27 m (89 ft) in height and 170 cm (67 ...
The foliage is bluish-gray and scale-like. The juvenile leaves (on the seedlings) are needle-like and 5 to 10 mm (3 ⁄ 16 to 3 ⁄ 8 in) long. Arranged in opposite decussate pairs or whorls of three, the adult leaves are scale-like, 1 to 5 mm (1 ⁄ 16 to 3 ⁄ 16 in) long on lead shoots and 1 to 1.5 mm (1 ⁄ 32 to 1 ⁄ 16 in) broad.
The juvenile leaves (on young seedlings only) are needle-like, 5–10 mm (3 ⁄ 16 – 13 ⁄ 32 in) long. The cones are berry-like, 8–13 mm ( 5 ⁄ 16 – 1 ⁄ 2 in) in diameter, blue-brown with a whitish waxy bloom, and contain a single seed (rarely two); they mature in about 18 months and are eaten by birds and small mammals.

The leaves are arranged in opposite decussate pairs, or occasionally in whorls of three; the adult leaf blades are scale-like, 1–2 mm long (to 8 mm on lead shoots) and 1–1.5 mm (1 ⁄ 32 – 1 ⁄ 16 in) broad, and derive from an adnate petiole. The juvenile leaves (on young seedlings only) are needle-like, 5–10 mm (3 ⁄ 16 – 3 ⁄ 8 in
