Golden Shadow

 

 


 

It’s a palo verde tree.  Palo verde trees are really smart.  They drop their leaves during the hottest dryest weather to conserve water, but they have chlorophyll in their bark so they can still photosynthesize.  During times of adequate moisture they hold onto their green leaves.


 

They bloom yellow flowers, the fallen petals creating that golden shadow.
