    (Juniperus thurifera) El enebro de incienso es un árbol que llega a alcanzar los 20 metros de altura, aunque debido a condiciones desfavorables consigue a duras penas la talla de un arbusto. Su copa es densa, de lejos negruzca, y sus hojas son escamosas como las del ciprés, pinchudas en los árboles jovenes. Sus azuladas bayas están cubiertas de una especie de cera. Maduran en el otoño del año siguiente. Los producen los ejemplares femeninos.
