  • Common Conifers in New Mexico Landscapes
    Ornamental Horticulture Common Conifers in New Mexico Landscapes Bob Cain, Extension Forest Entomologist One-Seed Juniper (Juniperus monosperma) Description: One-seed juniper grows 20-30 feet high and is multistemmed. Its leaves are scalelike with finely toothed margins. One-seed cones are 1/4-1/2 inch long berrylike structures with a reddish brown to bluish hue. The cones or “berries” mature in one year and occur only on female trees. Male trees produce Alligator Juniper (Juniperus deppeana) pollen and appear brown in the late winter and spring compared to female trees. Description: The alligator juniper can grow up to 65 feet tall, and may grow to 5 feet in diameter. It resembles the one-seed juniper with its 1/4-1/2 inch long, berrylike structures and typical juniper foliage. Its most distinguishing feature is its bark, which is divided into squares that resemble alligator skin. Other Characteristics: • Ranges throughout the semiarid regions of the southern two-thirds of New Mexico, southeastern and central Arizona, and south into Mexico. Other Characteristics: • An American Forestry Association Champion • Scattered distribution through the southern recently burned in Tonto National Forest, Arizona. Rockies (mostly Arizona and New Mexico) It was 29 feet 7 inches in circumference, 57 feet • Usually a bushy appearance tall, and had a 57-foot crown. • Likes semiarid, rocky slopes • If cut down, this juniper can sprout from the stump. Uses: Uses: • Birds use the berries of the one-seed juniper as a • Alligator juniper is valuable to wildlife, but has source of winter food, while wildlife browse its only localized commercial value.

  • Non-Wood Forest Products from Conifers
    NO\ -WOOD FOREST PROaCTS 12 Non-wood forest products from conifers Food and Agriculture Organizahon of the United Nations NO \--WOOD FOREST PRODUCTS 12 Non-wood forest products from conifers by William M. Ciesla European Forest Institute FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Rome, 1998 Reprinted 2001 This paper discusses both traditional and contemporary uses of products from conifers. This material is presented for information only and does not imply endorsement by the author or by FAO. Some of those products have medicinal purposes; however, they should only be used under the care and guidance of a qualified physician. Transport of certain non-wood forest products (e.g. foliage, Christmas trees, seeds and landscape or ornamental plants) across international boundaries poses a risk of accidental transport and introduction of insects, fungi or other potentially destructive agents.Itis recommended that anyone planning to move plant materials across international boundaries check with appropriate authorities in the country from which the products are to be exported and the countries into which the products are to be imported for import permit requirements or restrictions which might apply. Movement of non-wood forest products across international boundaries may be subject to trade restrictions (both tariff and non-tariff). Appropriate authorities should be contacted prior to planned movement of any non-wood forest products across international boundaries. A review of trade restrictions affecting international trade in non-wood forest products may be found in Non-Wood Forest Products No. 8, 1995. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

The papers contain valuable historical studies, especially floristic surveys that document Indiana’s vegetation in past decades. Authors were Butler faculty, current and former master’s degree students and undergraduates, and other Indiana botanists. The journal was started by Stanley Cain, noted conservation biologist, and edited through most of its years of production by Ray C. Friesner, Butler’s first botanist and founder of the department in 1919. The journal was distributed to learned societies and libraries through exchange. During the years of the journal’s publication, the Butler University Botany Department had an active program of research and student training.

  • Plant Materials Technical Note Rocky Mountain Juniper
    United States Department of Agriculture NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE Plant Materials Technical Note No. MT-75 September 2011 PLANT MATERIALS TECHNICAL NOTE ROCKY MOUNTAIN JUNIPER Juniperus scopulorum A Native Conservation Tree for Use in the Northern Great Plains and Rocky Mountains Joseph D. Scianna, Manager, NRCS Bridger Plant Materials Center Figure 1. Bridger-Select Rocky Mountain juniper seed orchard General Description Rocky Mountain juniper is a native, perennial, evergreen tree found over broad expanses of Montana and Wyoming. It is a long-lived, shallow-rooted, winter hardy and drought tolerant species with an average 20-year height of 12 to 15 feet on fertile soil with adequate precipitation. It has scale-like, pointed foliage varying in color from light to dark green to bluish-green, or yellow to brownish-green. The foliage may turn a brownish-green to dark purple color in the winter – depending on climatic conditions and the individual plant. Female and male flowers are found on separate plants. Female plants produce fleshy, purplish-blue-black, berry-like fruit requiring two years for maturation. The species grows slowly the first two to four years after germination and planting, after which, growth accelerates to a modest pace depending on site and climatic conditions. Rocky Mountain juniper grows well, given other favorable site conditions, in areas receiving as little as nine inches of annual precipitation. Seedlings vary widely in their mature size, shape, and rate of growth. Rocky Mountain juniper hybridizes with other native Juniperus resulting in a variety of forms across Montana and Wyoming. NRCS−Montana−Technical Note−Plant Materials−MT-75 1 Adaptation/Range Locations: Rocky Mountain juniper grows well under proper cultivation in most of Montana and Wyoming on southerly aspects below 6,000 feet and northerly aspects below 5,000 feet, given other favorable site conditions.
