The Utah Juniper is a hardy tree that thrives in environments where other plants would find it difficult to take root. Able to withstand intense heat, fierce cold, overbearing sunlight, extreme lack of water, and blasting winds, the juniper provides an important source of food and shelter for desert dwellers.
