Joshua Tree

Yucca brevifolia

 

á      The Joshua tree is fifteen to forty feet tall.

 

á      The fruit on the tree is edible.

 

á      Pioneers named it ÒJoshuaÓ because it resembles the Biblical JoshuaÕs outstretched arms.

 

I thought the Joshua tree was interesting, but I only saw one at the Punchbowl. There were many on the way there. The tree appeared differently than I thought.

 

My favorite part of the trip was seeing the creek and watching people jump across. I also enjoyed watching the people get their legs soaking wet. It was really fun.
