Neat Arizona Trees: Ironwood
these guys are short ans scrubbity, with wood that's off-white to a little darker. they're super strong and tangly and have thorns all over, so if you get stuck in one it's really hard to get back out again.
they grow slowly and can get really old, like supposedly 800 years or something, and their skeletons stick around for twice that.
they help other things grow up by breaking up the soil and giving small things a little shade so they don't roast
when they bloom they're honestly prettier than sakura. that pink, gosh
