Other names for juniper

Juniper is also known as ganggui, bengsong, banger song, puyuanbai and ruanye dujun.

Juniper's growth habits

Juniper is a light-loving plant, but it is also fairly shade-tolerant. When growing juniper, it needs a cooler climate; its suitable growing temperature is between 15°C and 30°C, and juniper's cold tolerance is quite good.

When choosing soil, the requirements are not very high, because juniper is highly adaptable to soil. Generally, calcareous chestnut soil or loess-type sierozem is fine.

Juniper's cultural meaning

In ancient times, it was said that throwing juniper branches into a fire could ward off evil, and some people burned juniper to prevent plagues.

In addition, in some mythological allusions, juniper is also mentioned as having the effect of soothing weary souls; this is mentioned in the Bible, and there are related records in the Book of Kings as well.
