Evergreen, dioecious shrub or small tree, up to 10m high, native to northern China, Korea, Japan, and the far southeast of Russia; leaves dark green, needle-like, 1-2cm long, V-shaped cross-section, with a narrow white stomatal band above; „Seed cones axillary on very short stalks, stalks densely clothed with small scaly leaves, young cones green, ripening to light brown-blue or blue-black with a strong resinous odor, globose to ovoid, 6-10 mm across with (2-)3 seeds.“ http://www.conifers.org/cu/Juniperus_rigida.php

„Only subsp. rigida… occurs in China; subsp. conferta (Parlatore) Kitamura (J. conferta Parlatore) is a decumbent, coastal shrub that occurs in Japan and E Russia (Sakhalin).“

„The composition of the leaf oils of Juniperus rigida from northeast China, Japan and Korea are reported. The Japanese samples were very similar to previous literature reports being rich in bornyl acetate (40.5–59.0%) and α-pinene (13.5–15.4%), but the samples from northeast China and Korea showed geographical differentiation in the production of increased amounts of α-pinene (39.7% and 53.5% respectively) and reduced amounts of bornyl acetate (1.3% and 2.8% respectively).“
α-pinene (39.7%) was the main component in the essential oil from the leaves of a J.rigida tree from the Botanical garden of Beijing (origin = ne China). Other components were myrcene (11.2%), 2-undecanone (4.8%), limonene (4.2%), germacrene D (2.3%), bornyl acetate (1.3%).
