This group of juniper trees has been in my yard as long as I can remember. It has red heartwood similar to ERC but it just doesn't look like an ERC. Does anyone know what kind of juniper it is?

I'd put my money on one seed juniper

It looks like a Chinese Juniper to me. Just your garden variety juniper. Don't know if it's good for bows.

Thanks guys. There's really no bow worthy pieces in it except for a branch deep in the tree. I really just wanted to know what kind it is.

I like the Missouri plates used for decoration.  Where bouts in Mo. are you ?

Probably a Chinese cultivar but all junipers have a lot in common.
