The Joshua tree farm in Mission Beach
Hi Ken, First I'd like to say that I LOVE the Joshua Tree and the Mojave in general, so I was really excited to read this article and awareness of our environment. I was hoping this organization's plan was to propagate more of them in their native habitat, but instead was surprised by a few things that Craig said. Craig is quoted as saying "they don't exist anymore," referring to the moths, but the Yucca moth is still around! And with their help, the Joshua Trees are pollinated, bloom and grow a new arm from that bloom, getting that iconic, twisty-arm look (not from animals; besides humans, there's no mammal that large that could take down a tree limb). There's also another theory that it's getting too HOT for the trees, not the lack of water. They are drought resistant and thrive in arid locations; Craig will have a better go at making a difference in the Joshua Tree population if he takes his BUSINESS out to the Mojave. If my information is wrong, can you please let me know? I just led a nature tour out there and would like to know if I misinformed people. With gratitude, Nature Lover— December 11, 2019 9:33 a.m.
