On a positive note, juniper berry tea has multiple health benefits.

Feb 21, 2008 · Last spring the Chinese Juniper I bought at a local nursery the previous year had a crop of berries. Not being familiar with junipers, at first I thought it was some kind of disease or infestation! Heh. Anyhow, almost a whole year has passed and these berries are still on the juniper. Should...

May 21, 2022 · The energy isn't that much of an issue because juniper berries are pretty resinous and super high fiber, but the proteins that go into it are depleting the rest of the plant a little..

Dec 14, 2024 · A trip to NW Kansas took me through eastern New Mexico and Colorado. I was able to collect several dozen piñon nuts from a rest area. (A small handful of juniper berries as well.) This excited me, as this is one of the few species that …

Feb 6, 2020 · Leo, I've used both fresh and dried seeds. I believe that because juniper berries take a bit more than a year to mature, drying isn't always needed.

I routinely use them in marinades, and I often add a couple to my pumpkin pies. So I would say a juniper is arguably viable in a fruiting tree contest, but may violate the spirit of the rules if not the letter. Also, it's not unheard of to display pines or similar with cones when …

Jun 21, 2024 · I have had this Chinese Juniper now for about 25 years and I bought it from a specialist bonsai nursery as 6 year old nursery stock, whereby no styling had been done on it and its roots initially being wrapped in sacking. I wired some of the larger branches but still want to wire some of the...

Oct 31, 2012 · I went to a local nursery (not a bonsai specific place) looking for any cool stock. Most of my trees are tropicals so I was thinking of getting a juniper or pine. The blue star junipers they had at the nursery really stuck out to me, but I figured I'd do some research before making a …

Jul 16, 2017 · It was sold as a 'hainezu' juniper.. which upon my searches is either Juniperus conferta (as the seller told me) or Juniperus lutchuensis (also known as juniperus taxifolia.. any pf you guys know what do I really have?
