Interpretive Summary: ‘Juniper’ (PI 639951) is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) developed by the Idaho Agricultural Experimental Station and released in February 2006. Juniper, named for the town of Juniper, Idaho, was released for its superior yield and quality compared with previous full stature hard red winter wheat cultivars in the intermountain zone of the western United States. Juniper is best adapted to low-rainfall, crop-fallow production systems.
