LONDON -- Gin is Desi Tadka (2020) Hindi Web Seriesa precious thing. But, recent fears over dwindling supplies of juniper have troubled gin enthusiasts around the world.The UK's National Tree Seed Project has been quietly working to safeguard the future of gin by protecting native juniper trees. Berries from the juniper tree are a critical ingredient in the production of gin. The project -- set up by Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank -- has been collecting juniper seeds from across the country since May 2013.

And, juniper is the first species to be fully collected in its entirety across Great Britain. The supply of gin has become an ever-growing concern as a deadly tree fungus -- Phytophthora austrocedri -- has been killing juniper trees across the UK in recent years. A 2015 report found two thirds of juniper stock in Scotland -- the UK's last stronghold for juniper -- to be unfit for usage.

The tree seeds collected as part of the project are now being safely stored at -20°C in the underground vaults of the seed bank at Wakehurst in Sussex. "Kew is delighted to announce that your gin is now safe," reads a statement from Kew's Millennium Seed Bank.
"2016 has been a fantastic year for The UK National Tree Seed Project and I’m delighted to hear that we’ve now fully collected and conserved our native Juniper species," said Richard Deverell, director of Royal Botanical Garden Kew.
