The evergreen tree that is native to northeastern Mexico and the south-central United States is called juniperus ashei.In central Texas, extensive stands occur.Over time, the ashe juniper can reach 15 m (49 ft) tall and provide shade and erosion control for wildlife and livestock.
The foliage is green in color.The leaves are 2 to 5mm long and produced on rounded shoots.It has male and female plants.The seed cones are round, 3 to 5mm (0.12 to 0.20 in) long, and soft, berry-like, green at first, maturing purple about 8 months after pollination.Birds eat the cones and spread the seeds in their droppings.The male cones are yellow and turn brown in the winter.
A severe allergic reaction can be caused by the sahara juniper pollen.As the pollination of J. virginiana follows that ofJ. ashei, what begins as a winter allergy may extend into spring.Many Texans refer to the allergy as cedar fever.
