"Similar Species: Western Juniper has 2 to 3 seed per berry, but One Seed Juniper (as implied by its name) has a single seed. Pinchot's Juniper has reddish berries, but those of One Seed Juniper are dark blue. One Seed Juniper is most difficult to separate from Utah Juniper. The distributions of the two species are mostly separate (compare the maps). However the distributions do overlap in central Arizona. One Seed Juniper is a shrub or small tree without a distinct upright trunk and the crown spreading and often scraggly. In contrast Utah Juniper is a tree with a short, upright trunk, and a rounded or conical, open crown."
