One can only assume the Juniper must be Juniperus canariensis.

For some odd reason the Macaronesian Juniper is called Juniperus cedrus. Maybe because they are needly and not scaly?

It must be Juniperus barbadensis then?

Good job Beng!

David - you are right, Juniperus cedrus it is. If you saw a close-up, it would have been easier.

Where was that picture taken if not in habitat? California? Why do they look bad in habitat?

Yep - at UC Berkeley. They have been decimated by a canker disease in habitat.
