Juniperus communis

Juniperus communis is a shrubby evergreen coniferous tree native to Europe and the Americas in the Northern Hemisphere. Its English name is Common Juniper. It is dioecious. Small yellow male flowers bloom in spring and are pollinated by the wind from the male plant to the female plant. The flowers are followed by small spherical fruits that turn from green to purple to black. The fruit is the juniper berry juniper berry, the main ingredient in gin. The fruits are eaten by birds, which disperse and reproduce. It is used for horticultural purposes such as bonsai, as it is too low to be used as timber.
