plant 1



One of my sons ran out of the house and climbed up a tree. This huge evergreen leaf tree was a "Joshua tree." The tree is able to actively abort ovaries where too many eggs have laid. Yucca moths spread pollen when they lay eggs in the flower, but leave enough seeds to produce more trees. Their seeds create panicles. The trunk is made of thousands of small fibers and lacks annual growth rings.
