I wanted to understand the differences between the Alligator Juniper and the Arizona Cypress by taking notes and painting their branches, berries, cones and bark. From my journal: “The Alligator Juniper is wispier, flatter, more fragile with small balled cones, the juniper berries were blue, purple, brown, frosted, smoother & rounded.”
