Joshua Tree near Darwin, California (2022). Yuccas (Joshua Trees) always mean "Mojave" to me. My parents took a photo of this particular Yucca brevifolia (on film, of course) three decades or more ago and sent a print of it to me back then; it hasn't changed much in all those years… (and I take a photo of it every time I drive past).

LOS ÁRBOLES DE JOSUÉ, YUCCA BREVIFOLIA, LOS REYES VEGETALES DEL DESIERTO DE MOJAVE Y COLORADO, CALIFORNIA; Por Rosana Saburo

Camino hacia el Gran Cañón, el espectáculo estaba servido, un bosque de yuccas enseñaba sus formas caprichosas, retorcidas, eran un tipo de yuccas, brevifolia, nativas de esta zona de los desiertos de Mojave y Colorado, tan peculiares que para los expertos en esta materia, es muy difícil determinar su edad porque son de fibra, no cuentan con los anillos que podemos ver en el resto de los árboles…

Joshua Tree National Park

East of San Bernardino and Los Angeles and north of Palm Springs is the Joshua Tree National Park, a U.S. national park. Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia), indigenous to the Mojave Desert, are the derivation of the name. When the California Desert Protection and Conservation Act was passed by the US Congress in 1994, Joshua Tree, which was initially designated a national monument in 1936, was…

6 au 12 juin 2022

I lunched at Pie and Burger with Molly Monday then I helped her tidy up her garage so she can get her car in for the summer while she is in Chatauqua. I showed Kerry how to keep her tomatoes thinned out.

Tuesday I did more work in the garden with Dad. Then I headed over to Molly’s to finish making room in her garage then we lunched at Tartine. I finally was on my way to Palm Springs at 15.00. I arrived in good time, just two and a half hours. I still get a bit of a panic attack driving when completely surrounded by those huge sixteen-wheelers. The first thing I did when I arrived was jump in the pool. It was glorious.

Tuesday evening Dan took Lucien and me to a delicious Korean restaurant, K-Tofu House; Rod and Charlie were at a neighbour’s birthday party.

Wednesday Charlie took me around to run my errands and we went shopping for the drinks and dessert party that evening. It was a nice group of of their friends. I learned about a place called The Living Desert. I must visit next time I’m there.

Thursday morning we headed out for breakfast then I joined Charlie when he went to his weekly bowling gathering. It was a lot of fun. I came in last; however, not by much. There are scented bowling balls ! I was sad to leave Rod and Charlie’s. I headed home and again made it in just over two hours.

Friday I had brunch with Yan at Colonial Kitchen in San Marino then we had a nice walk around Lacy Park.

At 15.00 Kerry and Matthew came by to pick up Dad and me to go to the cinema to see Top Gun : Maverick ; it was very well made. That was the first film I’ve seen in a cinema in many, many years. We dropped Dad off and I had dinner with the Reilings. We went to Nikki C’s Italian restaurant on Rosemead. Mike and I enjoyed a few old fashions and we kept that going when we returned to their house to watch a film. I struggled with my third and Mike downed his then fell asleep during the film.

Saturday morning I had to return my hire car. I spent the early afternoon with the Reilings and had my last dinner with Dad and Bev. I went up to the Reiling’s for dessert.

Kerry drove me to LAX for my flight home. Thankfully it was an uneventful flight. It wasn’t as fun nor as heavy on the whisky as my flight to LA. I watched a Marvel movie and just enjoyed watching the sun just go below the horizon for a while before it was on its way up. It never got completely dark. I made it home by 16.00 Monday afternoon.

This was on my Duolingo lesson Monday:

Plant of the week

Asparagaceae Yucca brevifolia Engelm.

common name(s) - Joshua tree, yucca palm, tree yucca, palm tree yucca; español : izote de desierto synonym(s) - Cleistoyucca arborescens (Torr.) Eastw.; Clistoyucca arborescens (Torr.) Trel.; Clistoyucca brevifolia (Engelm.) Rydb.; Sarcoyucca brevifolia (Engelm.) Linding.; Yucca arborescens (Torr.) Trel.; Y. brevifolia f. herbertii J.M.Webber; Y. brevifolia subsp. herbertii (J.M.Webber) Hochstätter; Y. brevifolia subsp. jaegeriana (McKelvey) Hochstätter; Y. brevifolia var. brevifolia; Y. brevifolia var. herbertii (J.M.Webber) Munz; Y. brevifolia var. jaegeriana McKelvey; Y. draconis var. arborescens Torr.; Y. jaegeriana (McKelvey) L.W.Lenz conservation rating - Least Concern native to - SW USA to NW Mexico location - Palm Springs leaves - evergreen; blade green, rigid, smooth, glabrous, margins nearly entire, minutely denticulate, yellow flowers - inflorescences erect, paniculate, densely crowded, ca. half enclosed in rosettes, ellipsoid-ovoid, glabrous; flowers erect; require a cold period to flower fruit - pendent, capsular, indehiscent, deeply furrowed, ellipsoid, dry, spongy; seeds dull black, thin, smooth habit - tree-like monocot, usually solitary, erect, arborescent, to 15m habitat - occurs on desert plains and alluvial fans, favouring gravelly soil in many different vegetation types, including grasslands, desert scrub, juniper woodlands, usually in sandy loamy soils; confined mostly to the Mojave Desert between 400m and 1,800m; fast growers for a desert species; new seedlings may grow at an average rate of 7.6 cm per year in their first ten years, then only about 3.8 cm per year pests - no information found disease - brown spot, red blotch, red rot hardiness - to -5ºC (H3) soil - fast draining, coarse grained alluvial soil, PH: 6.0 to 8.0 sun - full sun propagation - seeds; they are dependent upon one tiny insect for pollination. Yucca moths (genus Tegeticula) transfer pollen between flowers to ensure seeds will form, and then they lay their eggs inside the pollinated flower; when the larvae hatch, they feed on some of the seeds and the rest are able to disperse and grow into new Joshua trees; this type of interaction, where two organisms are dependent upon each other for mutual benefits, is called a mutualistic symbiotic relationship pruning - none nomenclature - Asparagaceae - ; Yucca - ; brevifolia - NB - Joshua trees provide nesting substrate for a variety of resident birds. It is frequently the only cavity nesting substrate available. It is also important for platform nesting in the forks and on the branches for northern mockingbirds, cactus wrens, western kingbirds, great horned owls, and red-tailed hawks, while Scott's oriole are known to hang their pendulous nests from the branches. Likewise, many Mojave Desert raptors depend on Joshua trees for nesting and hunting perches. The trunks of Joshua trees are important substrate for large desert spiny lizards. Accumulated detritus of leaves and branches beneath live and dead Joshua trees provide important cover of a great variety of invertebrates, reptiles and small mammals. Joshua tree leaves are harvested and incorporated into the expansive middens of woodrats. During drought periods, jackrabbits, pocket gophers, antelope squirrels, and woodrats gnaw the periderm from Joshua trees leaving some branches looking like bare skeletons (Zweifel and Lowe 1966, Esque et al. 2003); concern exists about the ability of the species to migrate to favourable climates due to the extinction of the giant Shasta ground sloth (Nothrotheriops shastensis) 13,000 years ago; ground sloth dung has been found to contain Joshua tree leaves, fruits, and seeds, suggesting that the sloths might have been key to the trees' dispersal.
