Juniperus Communis Subsp. Pygmaea

Juniperus communis subsp. pygmaea is a small, hardy shrub native to northern regions of the northern hemisphere. It thrives in rocky and arctic environments, often growing in harsh, wind-swept conditions. Known for its tiny scale-like leaves and berry-like cones, it plays an important role in local ecosystems. This subspecies is closely related to the common juniper but is distinguished by its compact size and unique adaptations. Its resilience and beauty make it a notable plant in cold climates.
