And only the female trees produce berries.

Okay.

So where I go out in West Texas, it's a pretty harsh climate.

It's high elevation.

It can go through long periods of drought.

And the juniper berries have this tendency or their reproductive cycles, they take two years before they produce berries.

So they're putting in all the resources.

When they decide to go for it, they go big.

And so I've gotten to know that some of my girls are odd-year girls and some of my girls are even-year girls.

And I figure out their personalities and figure out when they decide to bloom.

But when they do, I can get upwards towards 50 pounds of junipers per single tree.

Funny you should say that.

I literally am reading right now a wonderful book called The Hidden Life of Trees.

And actually I'd listen to it first as an audio book and I highly recommend it.

And so what this book is about is all the features of trees we don't really understand.

Yeah.

And they make an argument that they are potentially sentient, that they're learning, that they're communicating, that they have relationships.

And I'm glad you brought that up because my trees being wild trees, they have a greater amount of community sense and relationship and helping out others than trees that are in domesticated farms.

They've realized that

Trees literally help their neighbors.
