::Hardyplants, more people might know what a [[Yucca]] is, but I know lots of people who know both Yuccas and Joshua Trees, and I've never heard any of them ever call a Josua Tree a Yucca. That is, the plants that are commonly referred to by lay people as yucca does not include the Joshua tree. By the way, that's why the park is called Joshua Tree National Park, and not Yucca National Park (nor Yucca Brevifolia National Park). --[[User:Born2cycle|Born2cycle]] ([[User talk:Born2cycle|talk]]) 22:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC) |

How cold hardy?
How cold hardy are Joshua trees? If they area planted in a raised bed (to keep the roots dry) can they be grown in areas such as USDA zone 5 or 6 that are cold but not a whole lot colder than their natural habitat?

Lifespan of a Joshua Tree
Should there be something here about the lifespan of a Joshua Tree? How old can a Joshua Tree get?
- Hard for anybody to know, because as the article says, it "lacks annual growth rings, making it difficult to determine the tree's age". I vaguely remember reading about someone experimenting with C14 dating, dunno where I saw it. Stan 21:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Further, one of the subspecies forms clonal clumps, so the clump wil be older than any of its above-ground ramets.--Curtis Clark 23:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
branch of a joshua tree
We have had some abnormal amounts of snow fall, and the weight of the snow has broken one of the branches on the Joshua tree. Can I plant that and have it grow? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.35.188.223 (talk) 23:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
Unfortunatly not. If you have any more questions concerning Joshua Trees, you may contact The Joshua Tree Nursery located in Joshua Tree, Ca. jtnursery.com
Not a Joshua tree?
I'm not convinced that Image:Joshuatreesydney.jpg is a Joshua tree; it looks more like a Dracaena or some such. The branching pattern and lack of old leaf bases are both uncharacteristic for Joshua trees.--Curtis Clark 14:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree this is not a Joshua tree. At first I thought that it wmight be a cabbage palm, but after comparing, it does look like more like a type of Dracaena to me as well. --Bejnar (talk) 17:30, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Why is it called a Joshua tree?
I told my kids that's cause the trees are way old, dating back to, like, the time of Joshua, but no confirmation or disconfirmation here. --Mikedelsol (talk) 19:30, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Uh, the article explains the name, under "Ethnobotany".--Curtis Clark (talk) 21:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
