What does a juniper tree or shrub look like?

Juniper trees and shrubs are evergreen conifers characterized by their needle-like or scale-like leaves, which can vary in color from green to blue-green or even gold. They often have a bushy or pyramidal shape and can grow to varying heights, depending on the species. Junipers produce small, berry-like cones that are typically blue or purple when ripe, adding to their ornamental appeal. Their bark is usually reddish-brown and peels in strips, contributing to their distinctive appearance.
