My name is Joey. I am here to teach you more about the barrel cactus. You may or may not know that the barrel cactus stores water inside. This cactus is round, green, and the spines are red, violate, or yellow. My name is Marissa.
Creosote bushes are round and shruby.
They can grow very tall. They make good homes for ground squirrels, kangaroo rats, lizards, snakes, and tortoises. I just learned that when the air is 80 degrees, inside the Joshua tree it's only 60 degrees. The Joshua tree's leaves fall and make shade for its roots. This keeps the water from evaporating from the tree.
