Juniperus monosperma (One-seed juniper) is a species of juniper native to western North 
America, in the United States in Arizona, New Mexico, southern Colorado, western Oklahoma 
(Panhandle), and western Texas, and in Mexico in the extreme north of Chihuahua. It grows 
at 970–2300 m altitude.

It is an evergreen coniferous shrub or small tree growing to 2–7 m (rarely to 12 m) tall, 
usually multistemmed, and with a dense, rounded crown. The bark is gray-brown, exfoliating 
in thin longitudinal strips, exposing bright orange brown underneath. The ultimate shoots 
are 1.2–1.9 mm thick. The leaves are scale-like, 1–2 mm long and 0.6–1.5 mm broad on small 
shoots, up to 10 mm long on vigorous shoots; they are arranged in alternating whorls of 
three or opposite pairs. The juvenile leaves, produced on young seedlings only, are needle-like. 
The cones are berry-like, with soft resinous flesh, subglobose to ovoid, 5–7 mm long, dark Blue 
with a pale Blue-white waxy bloom, and contain a single seed (rarely two or three); they are 
mature in about 6–8 months from pollination. The male cones are 2–4 mm long, and shed their 
pollen in late winter. It is usually dioecious, with male and female cones on separate plants, 
but occasional monoecious plants can be found. Its roots have been found to extend to as far as 
61m below the surface, making it the plant with the second deepest roots, after Boscia albitrunca.
