Gnarly juniper

Probably Juniperus occidentalis, Mineral Peak, Douglas Co., Nevada, USA. This tree is actually still alive. Juniper species, along with piƱon pine, are the major elements of the patchy scrub forest that occurs on the lower slopes of the mountain ranges in and around the Great Basin. Juniper traditionally was called "scrub cedar," and you still hear old-timers refer to juniper as "cedar."
