Abstract

Studies concerning Juniperus phoenicea L. and Juniperus thurifera L. are aimed at verifying the effectiveness of propagation techniques as alternative conservation strategies on rare spontaneous plant species [1]. The two species are very localized at regional level and therefore have a high conservation interest [2]. J. phoenicea is a species belonging to the Cupressaceae family and is native to some regions of the Mediterranean basin, the Canary Islands and North Africa. J. thurifera is an endemic species that lives in semi-arid mountain environments and grows exclusively in Western Mediterranean (France, Spain, Italy, Morocco and Algeria) (Figure 1).
