As you can see from the list below, it’s fairly easy to learn all the trees and bushes that you’ll find on La Casa Del Sol. 😉

• Big Sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata Nutt. 
• Rabbit Brush, a.k.a. gray rabbitbrush or chamisa, Ericameria nauseosa (or is it nauseoso, sorry Hermione, didn’t mean to make you feel sick)
• Juniper We have 2 species of Juniper on the property and as far as I’ve seen, the entire Mesa.
  • One-seed Juniper, Juniperus monosperma   
    • This is the Sacred Cedar in front of the house

• Rocky Mountain Juniper a.k.a. Red Cedar Juniperus scopulorum Sarg.
  • Note that at first, it seems difficult to distinguish between the 2 species of Jupier. However, the One-Seed has many trunks as seen in this picture,  whereas the Rocky Mountain Juniper has a single trunk.
• Mexican piñon, Pinus cembroides
• Piñon Pine, Pinus edulis
