	Juniperus ashei
		Heavy browsing of Ashe juniper in winter and spring is an indicator of deer overpopulation and poor rangeland conditions [10].
		Ashe juniper seeds should be sown in the fall or cold stratified and sown in the spring.
		Ashe juniper is resistant to cedar-apple rust (Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae) [23,37,47].

	Juniperus ashei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Juniperus ashei (Ashe Juniper) is a drought-tolerant evergreen shrub or small tree, native to northeastern Mexico and the south-central United States north to southern Missouri; the largest areas are in central Texas, where extensive stands occur.
		Ashe Juniper is sometimes known in the area as "mountain cedar", though it is not a cedar; locals refer to the allergy as "cedar fever".
		Although Ashe Juniper is native to central Texas, it is considered a weed by some landowners in that area, especially by ranchers because overgrazing by cattle selectively removes competition while avoiding the bitter-tasting juniper seedlings.

	BIOLOGY/ECOLOGY OF ASHE (BLUEBERRY) JUNIPER
		Seeds of Ashe juniper are relatively heavy and hence those that fall from the parent tree tend to remain within or very near the canopy area.
		Ashe juniper plants from small saplings to large trees were selected within ungrazed exclosures, moderate-deferred rotation pastures and heavily-continuously grazed pastures to determine the influence of past grazing history and juniper canopy on herbaceous production (Blomquist 1990).
		Ashe juniper is a small, non-sprouting, evergreen, dioecious tree that occurs primarily on limestone substrates from Central America to Missouri with its center of abundance within the Hill Country of Texas.

	Background of Juniperus ashei (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Ashe juniper is a small, native, multi-stemmed, evergreen tree or shrub less then 30 feet tall.
		Ashe juniper has strong taproots and has extensive lateral roots in the surface foot of soil that give it a competitive advantage over other species for water, space and nutrients.
		Ashe juniper can form dense climax stands that suppress the growth of understory species and dense stands of ashe juniper are resistant to invasion.

	Juniper
		Junipers are evergreen trees or shrubs with either needle-like or scale-like leaves.
		Junipers have distinctive cones which are fruit-like in character: small cones in which the scales fuse together to form a fleshy "berry-like" structure.
		Many junipers have two types of leaves: seedlings and the young twigs of older trees, and all the foliage of a few species (e.g.

	Nearctica - Native Conifers of North America - Ashe's Juniper (Juniperus ashei)
		Identifying Characters: Ashe's Juniper can be identified by a combination of the distinctive raised hemispherical glands on the scales, the toothed fringe of the scale, and the dark blue berries with their whitish bloom.
		The raised hemisperical scale gland is present in Ashe's Juniper, but absent in Pinchot's Juniper.
		The berries of Ashe's Juniper are dark blue, but those of Pinchot's Juniper are reddish.

		Ashe juniper and mesquite has been documented through research as being a type of brush which utilizes large quantities of water through evapotranspiration.
		Junipers have a deep root structure and a dense mat of fibrous roots near the soil surface that allow them to absorb moisture from the driest of soils, to the detriment of grasses, creeks and springs.
		In an area with a 30-inch average annual rainfall, dense stands of juniper allow less than a quarter of the rainfall to reach the soil--the remaining three quarters remains in the branches or in the litter layer under the juniper until it finally evaporates.

	Browsing and tree size influences on Ashe juniper understory by Samuel D. Fuhlendorf et al. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It is the purpose of this investigation 1) to document the influence of Ashe juniper tree size on understory vegetation and 2) to evaluate how the interaction between tree size and browsing by domestic goats and white-tailed deer modifies overstory/understory relationships.
		Without browsing, Ashe juniper is more abundant and its individual influence increases as the size of the tree increases; trees with a canopy diameter < 6.0 m expressed minimal influence on understory vegetation compared to larger trees.
		When browsers are present at sufficient stocking rates to create a browse line on large trees, encroachment of Ashe juniper is slowed, rate of increase of all woody species is reduced, and large trees cause a shift in species composition directly under the canopy, however cover of all herbaceous species is not reduced.

	Cedar Control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Junipers, or cedars as they are commonly known, are a major management concern throughout much of central Texas.Â Over the last century, the land use and management across the Edwards Plateau region has seen a dramatic increase in the juniper (Juniperus Ashei) population.Â The results have been extremely negative.
		Since junipers are more of a hindrance to good land management, the goal should be to reduce the population of these pesky trees and continue to follow up until they are reduced to manageable levels.Â Once junipers are reduced in numbers, the water, sunlight and nutrients are available to the diverse native plants.
		A second biological approach is to encourage the juniper budworm.Â The juniper budworm attacks by larvae feeding on the juniper foliage, they construct silken tubes and pupation occurs in the shelter where the larvae fed. It is not known exactly what impact the juniper webworm will have on the Ashe juniper in Central Texas.

		Ashe juniper dominated or codominated woodlands are extensive within the Edwards Plateu in Texas.
		The most extensive and most diverse woodlands were in canyon systems, where Ashe juniper shared dominance with a diversity of oaks and other broad-leaved trees, Drier upland woodlands were less diverse, with live oak, shin oak, and Vasey oak variously important.
		Ashe junipr woodlands harbor a diverse biota, including rare and endemic species, and, thus, preservation of representative old-growth examples is an important conservation concern.

		This species of tree because it is the only juniper in which the bark comes off in strips; and this age of tree (around 30-years plus) because the younger trees' bark only comes off in large bulky strips, way too large for this tiny bird to deal with.
		Until the late 1800s Ashe Juniper was a tree of the canyons where it grew on steep rocky soil that few other plants could get a toehold on and where water was deep and thus scarce.
		The Ashe Juniper adapted to living on bare rock and in sending out deep tap roots in seach of water, and became adept at making use of even tiny amounts of soil moisture.

	Demographics of the Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) on Fort Hood, Texas
		The species is entirely dependent upon the mature Ashe juniper forests of central Texas for its nesting and foraging substrates.
		The species builds its nests almost entirely from shredded juniper bark at a height of 4 to 5 meters, most commonly in Ashe juniper and occasionally in hardwoods common to the region (e.g., live oak, Texas oak; Pulich 1976).
		Only mature Ashe juniper trees shred their bark, limiting the Golden-cheeked Warbler to forests with a high proportion of juniper trees older than 40 to 50 years (Pulich 1976).

		Ashe juniper expansion may negatively impact the ecology and hydrology of the Edwards Plateau.
		The Ashe juniper's morphology, rooting habit, and ability to photosynthesize throughout the year suggests greater water loss will occur in areas where Ashe juniper is prevalent compared to areas dominated by grasses.
		Averaged over all 10 sites, about 47% of the precipitation falling on juniper trees is intercepted by the canopy of the tree and evaporated back to the atmosphere, 5% is intercepted by the litter and duff beneath the tree, and 48% actually reaches the ground surface for either recharge or plant growth.

		The Golden Cheeked warbler uses the Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei) as the primary tree for nesting, though sometimes redberry juniper will be used.
		Feeding and foraging is done during the morning and afternoon in the upper two third level of its habitat and is not restricted to juniper.
		Prevention of overbrowsing of woody vegetation by stock, restoration of juniper habitat, minimization of canopy disturbance by roads, fences, and such, and proper management to avoid oak wilt disease are important factors in managing for golden cheeked warbler habitat (Beardmore et al, 1995).

		Ashe juniper is perhaps the most persistent challenge.
		The dense, shrubby evergreen canopy of this species, along with the dry duff layer that accumulates beneath the tree, intercepts as much as 80 percent of the annual precipitation before it reaches the soil, sending most of the water back into the atmosphere as water vapor.
		Grazers generally disdain juniper, and without the lightning-strike blazes of old to control its spread, ashe juniper threatens to take the range for its own.
