Juniper is fantastic for raised beds. I usually get it at Dunn Lumber in the spring (Seattle area).

are we talking about juniperous virginiana? Beautiful tree, horrible allergen. It does decemt at resisting insects amd rot. But if you want that bed to outlive you use osage orange. Rip it green though or you'll spend a fortune in blades.
Different species - occidentalis (meaning Western) vs virginiana (from Virginia), on different sides of the continent.
