Where the pines stop, the characters begin. 🌵🌳
We will takes you down in the canyon to the woodland and creekside trees you’re likely to spot around northern Arizona. Here’s the easy version:
Utah Juniper — Twisting trunk, shaggy bark, scale-like leaves, and powder-blue berries.
Alligator Juniper — Same juniper vibe, but the bark looks exactly like alligator skin.
Gambel Oak — The oak among the pines, with lobed leaves and little acorns.
Fremont Cottonwood — Big shade tree by water, with heart-shaped leaves and fluffy cotton in spring.
Arizona Sycamore — White-and-tan patchy bark that glows along canyon creeks.
Arizona Walnut — Feather-like compound leaves and small hard walnuts near washes and streams.
Boxelder — The “sneaky maple” with compound leaves and classic helicopter seeds.
