Juniper berries have long been used as medicine by many cultures around the globe as well as in Scandinavian cuisine to impart a sharp and clear flavor. They are a symbol of longevity, strength, athleticism, and fertility.
A short study of mistletoe in junipers concluded that more juniper berries sprouted in stands where mistletoe is present. The mistletoe attracts berry-eating birds which also eat the juniper berries creating an interaction that leads to greater diversity.
Together at last the mistletoe and juniper will live a long and happy life!
