Juniperus turbinata resembles J. phoenicea.
It is a shrub or small tree up to 8 m (26 ft) in height.
The smaller branches have reddish bark.
The adult leaves are scale-like, closely pressed to the twigs.
Pollen is produced in the autumn (October to November), rather than in spring as in J. phoenicea.
The seed cones are 7–11 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long (longer than in J. phoenicea), and somewhat elongated, especially when immature.
Each cone typically has seven to nine seeds (fewer than J. phoenicea).
