おもしろい事実

Its fragrant wood is naturally moth-repellent, often used to line old-fashioned clothes chests!

Its roots can stretch deep underground, anchoring it firmly on windy mountain slopes!

The 'berries' are actually cones with fused scales, taking two years to ripen!

This juniper can grow in very poor soil where other trees simply cannot survive!

特殊能力

能力

Drought Champion

Rocky Mountain Juniper has thick, waxy scales instead of leaves that help it store water and survive in dry, rocky places.

能力

Mountain Survivor

This juniper can withstand harsh winds and freezing temperatures, allowing it to thrive in tough, high-altitude environments.

能力

Flavorful Defense

Its 'berries' contain aromatic oils that deter many herbivores, but attract birds who then spread its seeds far and wide.
