Notes: From Botanical Beads of the World (http://www.botanicalbeads.com/BBB_page_88.html): The fleshy berries, the size of marbles, turn red-brown at maturity. They usually have two to five seeds while other junipers have one to three. Their fruits are an impo, rtant food for many birds and animals and was a crop that many Indian tribes gathered for winter use. The Tarahumara occasionally string the fruits into necklaces.x0Dx0A
