Fruiting Yucca plant, Joshua Tree Nat'l Park, CALIFORNIA · **2 Likes**

Yucca Tree near my camping site in Joshua Tree nat'l Park, California. Pentax K1 + DFA 28-105 mm HD lens @ f/11. Natives used to harvest these fruit and make jam with them, they are very sweet.

Those are big plants. Nice shots in their natural terrain.

Better not fall on the spikes of a Yucca or you're a dead man. Gawd, the trunks and branches of these desert plants are pointed and stiff.

Very nice captures, Rich. Really enjoy desert images including landscapes. Many thanks for sharing. What type of fruit does it produce?

A red fruit similar to pomegranate. Granular and sweet for making jams.
