Common Juniper (Juniperus communis) is an evergreen native across the northern hemisphere, including Canada. Depending on the form, it can grow as a low mat, an upright shrub, or a small tree. Its short sharp needles occur in whorls of three.
Female plants produce aromatic berry like cones that ripen from green to blue black. They are the traditional flavouring for gin and also feed wildlife. Common Juniper tolerates exposed sites, drought, and poor sandy or rocky soil.

How to stratify seed
Warm stage first. Keep the same bag at room temperature for the warm period shown, then move it to the fridge.
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
