Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This indeed un-ash like little tree comes from the rough and tumble mountains of the Southwest, this collection from the eastern Mojave at about 7000 feet. To only 15 to 20 feet tall, rounded form with round blue green leaves turning yellow in late autumn before falling. Actually an easy garden plant if given well drained soil and bright exposure. Enjoys an occasional monsoon from the garden hose during summer, otherwise exceedingly drough tolerant. USDA zone 5.
