It’s Fun Fact Friday time!! This is the Desert Willow (Chilopsis Linearis).
🌸 This tree is a great fit for our southwest desert for many reasons! With its vibrant blooms, rapid growth, drought tolerance, and easy maintenance, it truly is a wonderful tree for here in the Valley.

🌸 Native to the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, did you know that this tree is low water use? Once established, this tree can survive on rainfall alone!

🌸 The Desert Willow is deciduous in winter, meaning it will lose its leaves during that season. So, a pro tip is to plant it on western and southern exposures where shade is wanted in summer, and then that allows one to take advantage of the winter sun when it will lose its leaves.

🌸 They bloom from May through September with vibrant flowers ranging from white, light pink, dark pink, to purple! They are also a source of food for wildlife, attracting birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds seeking nectar.

🌸 Do you have a Desert Willow? Let us know in the comments!

We were honored to be selected as the non-profit partner for the 2026 MESA Design Competition! Phoenix College students were tasked with developing a human centered design to tackle key issues urban trees face in Phoenix. Jacob, our Urban Forestry Specialist, and Ali, our Planting Programs Manager were among two of the four judges for this competition. They listened to two amazing presentations and helped select a winning team who will receive a scholarship. Winning team announced soon 🤫

Phoenix College MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) supports first-generation and underrepresented STEM students through mentorship, academic support, and hands-on learning. The competition asks student teams to design and prototype a solution to a real problem provided by a local nonprofit.
