Juniper in Fruit: Zions National Park USA

are they white berries on the trees? it looks very pretty.

Looks like very rugged terrian, GT, did you have to walk up there?

They are a light blue, Sticki. And there were many. I shrunk the resolutin to fit on the site, maybe I shrunk it too much, not as clear as the original.

It is very rugged, but this is all along the river floor deep in the canyon so I didn't have to climb up anything.

Thank you both for the comments. :-)

Fascinating tree, thanks GT

Are these the berries they make Gin with GT......:)))

Could be Janey. I've collected them and they have a wonderful fragrance.

I've only collected them for making beads, a string of juniper berries protects the home (a little folklore). I think the gin would be alright, but I'm not a drinker. My understanding of gin is that there are many ingredients, first created out of the herb gardens of monasteries.

What a wonderful time period for horticulture. Those medicinal gardens where of great fame. And many recipes like gin linger on, many of them a spirit for imbibing as well. :-)
