What is a Joshua Tree?
What is a “Joshua tree,” anyway? For starters, it looks like it belongs in a Dr. Seuss book!
With zig-zaggy branches and leaves that look like pointy daggers, it’s an unusual member of the yucca tree family and has been used by native peoples for both nutrition and lifestyle: the flower buds and seeds can be eaten, and its hardy leaves can be used in basket and sandal making.
