Western Juniper Tree

Juniperus occidentalis or western juniper tree is a coniferous evergreen tree, one of several species native to North America, growing in California and extreme northwest Nevada.

Characteristics
Found amidst clusters of honey mesquite, aspen, and red cedar trees, the western juniper tree tree has a short trunk, and thin, needle-shaped green leaves. The trees have a fibrous, brown bark. Western junipers are found in the mountainous regions of Nevada, specifically in Jacobstown's Mount Charleston region. The tree commonly grows in higher elevations of the Mojave Desert, along Nevada State Route 157 in the northwest portion of the map near Griffith Peak. They can also be found on the perimeter of Big MT.

Layout
The tree is a common sight in the wasteland, with exactly 250 trees of all types present in the base game and 73 located in the Old World Blues add-on.

Appearances
Western juniper trees appear only in Fallout: New Vegas and its add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes
