Description: A small to medium-sized coniferous tree with an elegant, weeping habit. Many small, Awl-shaped needles are an attractive shade of grey-green and are held on slender, pendulous branchlets. Glossy deep purple, Berry-like cones mature to black and contain a single seed. The timber is valued for its use in furniture and, as the common name suggests, coffins. The wood is commonly used as incense in temples across the Eastern Himalayas.

Additional common names include - Himalayan Juniper, Cox's Weeping Juniper.
