JOSHUA TREES OF THE SOUTHWEST

The rapidly diminishing Joshua Tree is one of the most spec- tacular botanical features of our western desert. It belongs to the lily family and attains heights up to 40 feet and its cream-white blossoms grow in clusters 8 to 14 inches long at the ends of heavy angular erratic branches. The mormons gave this giant yucca the name Joshua Tree or the "praying plant" because of the up-stretched "arms". The trunk has no annual rings, hence it is impossible to determine their age.
