Common Uses:
Did you know? An unusual fact about the Juniperus communis is that it produces berry-like cones rather than true berries. These "juniper berries" are modified female seed cones with fused scales, giving them a fruit-like appearance. Unlike most conifers, which rely solely on wind for pollination, some juniper species are also pollinated by insects, making them unique among conifers.
Additionally, Juniperus communis is one of the few plants that can thrive in extreme climates, from high-altitude Himalayan regions to cold northern forests, showcasing remarkable adaptability.
Suggested Storage: Store below 30°C in a sealed container, away from direct sunlight.
