Utah Juniper? what's the difference between the junipers?

If not, then Rocky Mountain Juniper?

when i was studying the national list awhile back, i put this in my notes
utah
-yellow-green leaves; berry-like cone; coarser, angular, upright branches (compared to rocky); resin gland inconspicuous, berrylike cone BLUE(YOUNG)->RED-BROWN with white bloom (waxy coating)

rocky mountain
-lacy, droopier branches; conspicuous resin gland on each leaf, berrylike cone BRIGHT blue with white bloom (waxy coating)

eastern redcedar
-two types of leaves: needle-like, scale-like; resin gland on each leaf, berrylike cone DARK blue with white bloom (waxy coating), cone smaller than other junipers (1/8 - 1/4", rocky mountain&utah are 1/4-1/2")

not sure if it's completely right because i don't remember where i got the info from haha, but hope it helped

*edit: my first post yayyyy
