Recommended juniper communis varietal

[Sator Square Distillery]

Does anyone have a recommended juniper communis varietal that produces a good amount of berries? I'm thinking about putting in my own shrub/trees and wondering if anyone has any experience with choosing  a good producer.

 

Thanks

I don't know about varieties but I do know that they take around 7 years to produce their first crop of berries.

I figured it could be about that long, but I can be patient with it. So far all the nurseries I've spoken to only carry "male" plants that put off pollen but no berries? I'll keep looking.

You should look into your state restrictions before bringing them in, they are on state invasive species lists and quarantined in some places http://pi.cdfa.ca.gov/pqm/manual/htm/318.htm
