Juniperus Sqyanata Lamb var. morrisonicola ( Hayata)
Profile
Scientific name: Juniperus Sqyanata Lamb var. morrisonicola ( Hayata)
Common name: Fragrant tree

Features: The Juniperus Sqyanata Lamb is an evergreen coniferous tree or shrub with lanceolate leaves that are either linear or whorled and fruits that are either rounded or oblong. As trees, they often stand tall and erect with graceful silhouettes; however, when found in harsh, high mountains, they often grow into shorter shrubs with twisted branches to better withstand the cold winds of higher elevations.
Habitat: The Juniperus Sqyanata Lamb is distributed throughout alpine tundra areas at altitudes above 3400m, usually beyond the timberline where other tall trees cannot survive. They often comprise vast areas of shrubbery atop high cliffs or ridges.
