Discover the enduring allure of Juniperus osteosperma, commonly known as Utah Juniper, a resilient evergreen that thrives in the southern Great Basin and Colorado Plateau regions. With a height ranging from 8 to 20 feet, this small yet robust tree is perfectly adapted to dry, rocky terrains at elevations between 4,000 and 8,000 feet. Utah Juniper is celebrated not only for its beauty and longevity—living up to 650 years—but also for its ecological importance. It serves as crucial wildlife cover and is a food source for various animals, including deer, jackrabbits, and numerous bird species.

Utah Juniper is versatile for native landscaping and land restoration projects, requiring minimal precipitation of just 8 to 11 inches annually. Its extensive root system, with both deep-reaching taproots and widespread lateral roots, enables it to compete effectively for moisture and nutrients even in poor soils. This is a hardy tree with characteristically bushy foliage and distinctive scale-like leaves. The tree produces berry-like cones, consumed by both wildlife and historically by Native Americans.
