Background of Juniperus ashei

Ashe juniper is a small, native, multi-stemmed, evergreen tree or shrub less then 30 feet tall. Ashe juniper has strong taproots and has extensive lateral roots in the surface foot of soil that give it a competitive advantage over other species for water, space and nutrients. Historically, ashe juniper occurred only on rock outcrops but in recent years spread to native prairie areas. Ashe juniper can form dense climax stands that suppress the growth of understory species and dense stands of ashe juniper are resistant to invasion.
