About Juniperus recurva

Juniperus recurva belongs to the cypress family (Cupressaceae). It is an evergreen conifer with hanging branchlets and short, sharp needles. The species grows naturally in the Himalayas and becomes a shrub or small tree.

In cooler climates it can be grown in a sheltered spot with well-drained soil, although it is more sensitive to hard frost than the common juniper. The berry-like cones are not meant for eating.
