While many gardeners may be familiar with the more prostrate forms of juniper shrubs, the fact is most species of junipers grow as trees in the wild. Juniper trees (Juniperus spp.) are nonflowering plants that reproduce by producing cones, therefore appropriately called gymnosperms.
Definition of foundation for English Language Learners : a usually stone or concrete structure that supports a building from underneath : something (such as an idea, a principle, or a fact) that provides support for something
The two terms are also defined as : 'A foundation is the part of the structure which is in direct contact with the ground to which the loads are transmitted, while the lowermost portion of the foundation which is in direct contact with the sub-soil is called the footing.'. Hope this helps.
