Garden plant seen in Atlanta in Oct,18. Looks like from Cupressaceae family.
Yes its Juniperus sp. Family : Cupressaceae
yes juniper. white relatively large berries. but any further, i dont know. sorry Thanks … Just a guess….. Could be Juniperus bermudiana? https://environment.bm/bermuda-cedar/ Or Juniperus virginiana? This seems more likely.
https://www.britannica.com/plant/juniper I think difficult to pin point the species of Juniperus. I think habit picture may be important for this.
Looks different from images of Juniperus virginiana:
Did you step back and take a photo of the area so we may see the size and form? Thank you … for asking the same view and question I keep asking for the last several years. thanks. again lets see if we can get people in the habit of taking pictures of the habit, pun intended. and the habitat Without more information or more images, all we can do is throw guesses at this plant. The cones in Aarti’s image appear to be unripe so we do not know what color they will be at maturity. Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii is a possibility but without more information, it’s anyone’s guess.
https://www.conifers.org/cu/Juniperus_chinensis.php If it is Juniperus bermundiana, the cones should have matured by October. Thanks for letting me know the differences.
Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I have.
Let’s leave it as Juniperus Species as of now, unless we have an expert who can identify it. Juniperus virginiana L. ?? . References: POWO Catalogue of Life The Plant List Ver.1.1 WCSP IPNI
