Utah Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma)Observer
mattlavinDescription
Denticulate leaf margins, resinous upper leaf surface, and twigs that are about 2 mm in diameter all suggest Juniperus osteosperma. At this site just to the southeast of Baker City, Baker County, Oregon, along old highway 30, cheatgrass is restricted to the roadside and similarly disturbed settings and not found in the sagebrush steppe, both recently and not recently burned.

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82608951
Densest stand with about 25-30 mature plants (rabbits were there munching on seed stalks) and 75-100 seedlings within 90 sqft under or on the margins of infrequently mowed shrubs within ROW. I counted 7 mature outliers doing a bit of crawling through/under blackberry. Last 2 pics show general habitat. @eralverson @ajwright @peterzika @patricksowers
