About
Juniperus Virginiana Trees: Juniperus Virginiana is
a small to medium-sized aromatic evergreen tree. Typically, the trunk
is straight and the tree has a pointed, dense, conical crown that
may be varied or irregular, depending on ecotype or competing vegetation.
The bark is thin, fibrous, and reddish brown. The leaves are paired
or opposite and scale-like. Leaf tips end in a narrow, sharp point,
sometimes sharp enough to cause discomfort if handled without gloves.
The fruit, or cone, is berrylike and dark blue. Birds devour the fruit.
Juniperus Virginiana can grow on a variety of soils. Its deep roots
and small leaf surface make it very drought resistant. It is the primary
species in most windbreaks. The wood of the red cedar is fragrant
and is used extensively for furniture. The foliage is bright green
to dark green.

The
Black Walnut is a dependable producer of extra large crops for many
years. The nuts are large and plump and crack out of the shell easily.
The roots of the black walnut produce a substance known as juglone
(5-hydroxy-alpha-napthaquinone). This biochemical is toxic to many
plants such as the tomato, potato, black and blue berries, and other
plants that may grow within a 50 to 60 foot radius of the trunk.
Not all plants are sensitive to juglone and many trees, vines, shrubs,
and flowers will thrive in close proximity to a black walnut tree.
