Juniper is an evergreen shrub that grows in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, notably in Europe, Asia and North America. It can reach a height of 10 meters, and is characterized by its resinous scent and small blue or brown berries, which are used in cooking and traditional medicine.

Its leaves are small green or bluish scales arranged in rows along the branches. The berries, known as genepi, are aromatic and have a slightly sweet, spicy taste. They are often used to flavor meat dishes and alcoholic beverages such as gin.

Juniper is a symbol of longevity, protection and purification in many cultures. It is also associated with resilience and strength, due to its ability to grow in difficult conditions and survive harsh winters.

Its wood is dense and resistant, making it a valuable material for furniture, musical instruments and sculptures. Its shrubby form and twisting branches add a touch of character to any garden or landscape.

In short, juniper is a versatile, hardy shrub that combines beauty, utility and symbolism. Whether for its spicy berries, precious wood or cultural significance, juniper is a fascinating plant that deserves to be explored and appreciated.
