Joshua Trees In Arizona — Image by kenne

THE JOSHUA TREE HAS AN AVERAGE LIFE SPAN OF 150 TO 200 YEARS
AND IS ONLY FOUND IN THE MOJAVE DESERT

When Mormon settlers first saw the plant they dubbed the “Joshua tree,” it reminded them of the bushy-bearded biblical leader.
When Territorial Governor John C. Frémont saw it during an 1844 trek through the Mohave Desert and they are plentiful along
U.S. Route 93 from Wikieup to Wickenburg. The drive, which is familiar to us having many a trip from Tucson to Las Vegas.
