Sign in to saveAlso known as junipers, the juniper genus
Junipers are coniferous trees and shrubs in the genus Juniperus ( ) of the cypress family Cupressaceae. Depending on the taxonomy, between 50 and 67 species of junipers are widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere as far south as tropical Africa, as far north as the Arctic, and parts of Asia and Central America. The highest-known juniper forest occurs at an altitude of in southeastern Tibet and the northern Himalayas, creating one of the highest tree lines on earth.
Junipers are cone-bearing trees and shrubs in the cypress family that are found across the Northern Hemisphere, from the Arctic to tropical Africa, as well as in parts of Asia and Central America, with between 50 and 67 species depending on how scientists classify them. They matter partly because they form some of the world's highest forests, notably in southeastern Tibet and the northern Himalayas, where they create one of the highest tree lines on Earth.
