Juniperus communis var. depressa ‘Hitchcock’ Reference untroubled by clay or standingJuniperus communis, the common juniper, is the most widespread conifer in the world, a circumboreal shrub of northern latitudes and high elevations, and the source of the aromatic berries that flavor gin. The variety depressa is the low, ground hugging North American form, a prostrate mat of prickly, blue green needles. 'Hitchcock' is a Woodlanders selection of that low form, and hangs on one of the more remarkable botanical stories in the Southeast.
