The battered Juniper (Juniperus communis) tree, the only one 'I' know of miles, still thrives even though it's weathered trunk is nearly horizontal and most of its roots are exposed. I was thinking, if the tree was upright it would stand a good 4 or 5 meters tall...a good size for the species. This year, in keeping it would appear with other fruiting flora, it's covered in really healthy looking berries. I must remember to harvest some berries this year, I'd like to have a go at cultivating some saplings in the hope of propagating this threatened native species.
