Chinese Juniper 79. When you descend into the garden's section A, to the corner by your right is a 40 foot tall Chinese Juniper, with big, pale berries. It is pollinated by a 50 foot male of the same species further along the path leading to Benson Hall. So many of us think of junipers as shrubs that it is good to see they can be real trees.
Chinese juniper is about as important as any juniper in forestry or ornamental horticulture.
It has weaker odor than many, and can be either prickly or smooth in its foliage.
