Thanks for letting us know, Andy. It's amazing how quickly these junipers
were
stripped off the mountains. Can any comparison be drawn between this
story and the
collection of specimens out west? I already hear Jim Lewis emphatically
nodding
his head!

Perhaps, but the difference between a couple of mountains in a country the
size of California and a nation whose geography is many times the size of
Japan is significant. Certainly this is a matter of geographic volume only,
but I'd not be so rash as to suggest any significantly relevant parallels as
yet.

Kind regards,
