A is for Alligator Bark Juniper

For the A B See Photo Meme, I’m approaching it this way: my children will use this for their nature study. Each one has their own letter from the alphabet (starting at A) and they are to find something in nature that corresponds with that letter. They take a photo of it and place it in their Nature Study journal, as well as writing a few facts about it.

This week’s photo was taken by Wesley, my 13 year old son.

Alligator Bark Juniper
Juniperus Deppeana Steud

The alligator bark juniper, called so because its bark resembles alligator skin. It is only found in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas and can grow to 55′ tall.
