Junipers are among the few tree species that can withstand the harsh conditions on the Hat Creek Rim plateau, with its porous soil that don't hold water, the scarce rains, intense summer heat and stormy winters with occasional heavy snow loads. Most trees here are either stunted or broken by storm, burned by fire, or show signs of drought. The longer this tall juniper survives, the more can it seed new offspring.
