Are the berries cone like when viewed closely? There are a number of
evergreens usually referred to as 'junipers' in the US that resemble true
junipers in appearance but the berries are very different.
True juniper has round smooth berries that a dark, almost black in
appearance. The other juniper has berries that are scaled and have a light
bluish powder on them throughtout most of the season.
You really don't have to be all that careful. True junipers are the source of
the spice juniper berry. While the other is not. Any juniper that has smooth
round dark berries is edible.
