Main transcript for your convenience:
Growing anywhere from California to the Himalayas with about 67 species variants in the Juniperus genus - this woody, coniferous, evergreen, small tree or shrub does well with low moisture, higher elevations or lower atmospheric densities, rock and sloped terrain, can tolerate very poor soil (while generally being faster growing in nutrient rich), and can tolerate alkaline soils up to a pH of 8 which is near the average pH of the currently toxic Martian soil.
The Juniperus communis plant variant has edible berries, additional culinary uses for the seeds, leaves, and stems (in tea and coffee alternatives), but is mostly known for its cone oil in fragrances, beer and gin. The fruit can also be used medicinally for its antiseptic (antibacterial, anti fungal, antiviral), anti arthritis, anti diabetic, anti inflammatory, analgesic (pain-killing), hepatoprotective (liver-protecting), antihyperlipidemic, antioxidant, antihypercholesterolemic, neuroprotective, carminative (flatulence-combatting), diaphoretic (sweat-inducing), diuretic, rubefacient (topical circulation enhancing), stomachic (stomach-strengthening) and tonic (invigorating) properties.
