SPECIES: Yucca Brevifolia (Joshua Tree)
SEASONAL DEVELOPMENT :
Joshua tree requires sufficient precipitation for flowering to occur. On some extremely harsh, arid sites, flowering rarely if ever occurs. Start of flowering is probably controlled primarily by daylength. Variation in flowering dates according to taxonomic variety and geographic location has been noted.
Generally flowering occurs between March and May
Most annual vegetative growth of the Joshua tree occurs during a 5-month-long winter-spring growing season.
