Junipers, a durable tree, used for posts and wood products, but neither grows quickly nor can it compete with other conifers economically. The consequence is that where men have
lived, farmed, or logged, it has all but disappeared although still common in the San Juan Islands. The islands species is different, long believed to be the Western Juniper, but now growing vigorously in the Gardens, we know it to be a Seaside Juniper distinct from the 2 others. A 4th, a spreading bush is the Common Ground Juniper often seen along with domestic ornamentals in local residential yards. A mature specimen of the latter is found by Kiosk 15; PLC’s sponsored WWU SAM Project’s extinction probability is slight, <.0001%. for any of these Junipers.
