General
- An
evergreen shrub or tree up to 6m high with bluish-green stiff needles.
It has small flowers and berries which are green in the first year,
black in second and third. Essential oil is extracted by steam
distillation from the berries. Although these valuable berries are
produced from a native shrub, the berries of commerce are chiefly
collected from plants cultivated in Hungary. But the rise in the price
of foreign oil of Juniper berries since the outbreak of war has directed
attention to the possible extended production of the oil either in Great
Britain or Europe or Canada. Sunny slopes are likely to be the best
places to cultivate the shrub for the berries. The yield of oil,
however, varies considerably in different years.
