Through Native species and Arabian Peninsula
The species was previously treated as part of Juniperus phoenicea, which is now regarded as restricted to Spain and France, and later, as J. phoenicea was split into J. phoenicea and J. turbinata, as part of J. turbinata, which is found throughout the Mediterranean and in the Arabian Peninsula.
Studies published in 2017 and 2018 on the genetic and morphological differences found within the J. phoenicea species complex showed that the Macaronesian population merited a status equivalent to that of J. phoenicea (sensu stricto) and J. turbinata.
