ocky Mountain Native Plants Company (RMNP) is located in Rifle, Colorado. RMNP produces and installs native plant materials from a wide range of habitats for restoration projects and for the landscaping industry, which demands hardy, native plant materials. Currently, we are producing more than 2 500000 native plants representing approximately 250 different species. Two of the most challenging species that we propagate are oneseed juniper (Juniperus monosperma Engelm. Sarg. [Cupressaceae]) and Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma (Torr) Little). Utah juniper and pinyon pine (Pinus edulis Engelm. [Pinaceae]) form the extensive pinyon-juniper woodlands throughout the Great and Colorado Basins of the western US. Utah juniper has a broad range, being found from southern Montana and Idaho to California and the states of Durango and Chihuahua, Mexico. Oneseed juniper is also found throughout the range of the pinyon-juniper woodlands and in the adjacent desert grasslands of southern Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, western Texas, and northern Arizona. Both species are long-lived, drought tolerant, and inhabitants of regions that have annual precipitation averaging from 25 to 37.7 cm (10 to 15 in). These species have taproots that extend deep into the soil (as far as 4.5 m [15 ft]) and lateral roots that may extend as far as 30 m (100 ft) from the tree. They also develop fine roots at the base of the trees and on the lateral roots, thus they are important in the prevention of wind and sheet erosion of dry desert soils R
