The trees and rocks instantly reminded me of the trees I see on my hikes, but seeing them combined with opuntias and other desert plants made me think of somewhere like New Mexico. Also possibly the first setting in which I've ever liked 'Chief Joseph'.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-2190509600125308572020-02-06T16:58:41.853-08:002020-02-06T16:58:41.853-08:00If I lived in a colder climate, say Colorado, I...If I lived in a colder climate, say Colorado, I'd want my garden to look just like that.

I looked it up and was surprised to see it listed as suitable to Sunset zone 24 but then the reference to its requirements of "regular water" squelched my budding enthusiasm.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-27043079170837803312020-02-06T11:25:58.416-08:002020-02-06T11:25:58.416-08:00I like the shape of this Chief Joseph and love the...I like the shape of this Chief Joseph and love the other craggy conifers too.
