Eastern Juniper is a dense slow-growing tree that may never become more than a bush on poor soil but is ordinarily from 5-18 m tall, rarely 25 m, with a short trunk from 30-60 cm (1-2 feet) in diameter, rarely 120 cm (4 feet) diameter.
The Eastern Juniper is a pioneer invader, which means that it is one of the first trees to repopulate cleared, eroded, or otherwise damaged land.

Generally, damage to members of the juniper family is little cause for concern, but cedar rust diseases may cause sizable reductions in fruit yield and esthetic value of apples, crabapple, and several other members of the rose family.
Cedar rust diseases are most commonly seen where junipers or eastern red cedar are grown in close proximity to apples or other members of the rose family susceptible to these diseases.
Galls on juniper and eastern red cedar are similar to those of C-A-R except that they are generally smaller, reddish-brown in color, and firmly attached to the twigs.

Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) trees are a common sight in the high desert of eastern Oregon, southwestern Idaho, and northeastern California.

Juniper is not considered a viable commercial species by most forest products companies for a number of reasons.
Conventional harvesting systems commonly used in Eastern Oregon -- typically consisting of a feller-buncher, skidder, and sometimes a stroke delimber -- are not suitable for handling the butt flare and large, flexible limbs common to western juniper.

Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is one of 13 juniper species native to the United States.
First accounts of Nebraska vegetation mention eastern redcedar as a native tree species, primarily along the steep valley of the Niobrara River in northern Nebraska, as a minor component in deciduous forests in eastern Nebraska, and as a dominant species on canyon sides in the rugged Loess Hills region of central Nebraska.
Regarding eastern redcedar specifically, prescribed fire is important both to initially reduce infestations and to maintain trees at economically tolerable levels.

 9-26-97 Eastern Oregon fostering juniper boomtowns
While junipers can live to be 1,600 years or older, 97 percent of the trees in the area are less than 100 years old.
Researchers at Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Burns, operated by Oregon State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, are tracking this population trend, trying to predict the consequences.
The population shift is due to a rapid spread of young junipers that began in the 1870s, he said.

From 1949 to 1952 hundreds of ponderosa pine, Rocky Mountain juniper and eastern red cedar, were planted on the summit and in the ravines to reduce soil erosion.
The introduced cedar became self-propagating and interbred with the junipers.
Because of the plantings that were done and the resulting interbreeding of the cedars and the junipers the Monument land does not appear as it did when the pioneers traveled through this area.

The name means "naked spore-bearer of the eastern juniper tree." (My apologies to those of you who will not be able to view this page because your filtering software won't allow you to view a web page that contains the word "naked"....).
It is parasitic on both the eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginianus) and apple trees (Malus sylvestris).
It's really kind of a pretty sight to see, but it does cause considerable damage to the juniper tree, which is not so economically important as the damage it causes to the apple trees.
