Great essay. I heart multi-trunk trees.

I’ll take that as two votes to sometimes call them desert birch. Now the question is how it would look to plant three of them on a mound covered with river stones?

“Desert birch”–excellent! Even in my more coastal area people are planting palo verdes. I’d like to see some of the palo blacos as well. (Maybe a good sub for folks who really have to have their birch trees?)

Those are some beautiful trees. And I like the names, both real and your inventions. The pics make me appreciate multi-trunked trees more.

Those manzanitas are probably beautiful. Thanks for the tag. I’ll do it if I think of anything interesting like you did.

And I thought our chaparral was dry! Strange and wonderful. We just finished clearing the last strip of chaparral (actually we hired this job out as I have a sore shoulder) and revealed more wonderful multi-trunk manzanita, could be decades old.
BTW our blog was tagged with an “Honest Scrap” award by Christine at Idora Design – I did the post for us mice and tagged you (and six others) in turn. Don’t feel obligated – but have fun if you like.
