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
- One-seed Juniper, Juniperus monosperma


- 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
