It is a characteristic tree of the Afromontane flora.Table of ContentsDescription[edit]Distribution[edit]Taxonomy[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]External links[edit]Description[edit]Juniperus procera is a medium-sized tree reaching 20\u201325 metres (66\u201382 feet) (rarely 40\u00a0m or 130\u00a0ft) tall, with a trunk up to 1.5\u20132\u00a0m (5\u20136+1\u20442\u00a0ft) diameter and a broadly conical to rounded or irregular crown. The leaves are of two forms, juvenile needle-like leaves 8\u201315 millimetres (3\u20448\u20135\u20448\u00a0in) long on seedlings, and adult scale-leaves 0.5\u20133\u00a0mm long on older plants, arranged in decussate pairs or whorls of three. It is largely dioecious with separate male and female plants, but some individual plants produce both sexes. The cones are berry-like, 4\u20138\u00a0mm in diameter, blue-black with a whitish waxy bloom, and contain 2\u20135 seeds; they mature in 12\u201318 months. The male cones are 3\u20135\u00a0mm long, and shed their pollen in early spring.[5]Distribution[edit]Juniperus procera is native to the Arabian Peninsula (in Saudi Arabia and Yemen), and northeastern, eastern, west-central, and south tropical Africa (in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Somalia, Somaliland, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe).[4]It is the only juniper to occur south of the equator, and is thought to be a relatively recent colonist of Africa; the species shows very little of the variability associated with a long period of evolution.[6] It is closely related to Juniperus excelsa from southwestern Asia, probably deriving from a common ancestor with that species in southwestern Asia.[citation needed]Taxonomy[edit]According to Tropicos, Juniperus procera was originally described and published in Synopsis Coniferarum 1847. The type specimen was collected from Ethiopia, by “Schimper” (possibly Wilhelm Philipp Schimper, but there were other contemporary collectors with this surname).[2][7]It is an important timber tree, used for building houses, poles, and furniture. The bark is used for beehives.[8]East African juniper, northern TanzaniaEast African juniper, northern TanzaniaEast African juniper, northern TanzaniaEast African juniper, used as termite resistant fence stakesReferences[edit]^ Farjon, A.
