Petey gets so excited about the Apache Pine. What’s up with that?
Pinus englemannii is it’s northern most range in southeastern Arizona. Though at first glance it appears to be a Ponderosa Pine, certainly the very long needles give it away. It’s one of my favorite pines to grow and I take them to the farmers markets in Cochise County to sell. I suspect they will make me rich. It could happen.
Petey laments some invasive plant species and in particular a non-native grass that is spreading in the hills near his home.
Autumn is the season of migration for many avian species and in the borderlands of southern Arizona hummingbirds are passing through, sparrows are arriving...
I think I talked more about Toumey oak (Quercus toumeyi) than yellow bells. It is an awfully sweet little native oak. I’m pretty sure...
