Looking for a striking addition to your garden landscape? Look no further than the Juniperus monosperma, also known as the Cherrystone Juniper or the Oneseed Juniper. Native to western North America, this evergreen coniferous shrub or small tree boasts gray-green foliage and an attractive, rounded crown. Its unique gray-blue fruit adds visual interest to any setting. But this plant is more than just a pretty face – its thin strips of fibrous bark are used for making sleeping mats, and the bark makes excellent tinder, slow match, and torches. It has even been used as a lining in shoes to absorb moisture and keep feet warm. Give your garden a touch of southwestern flair with this beautiful and useful plant!
