We’re always searching for sources of seed for plants and shrubs that are Native to New Mexico. The drought in the Southwestern United States has made it more difficult to find seed from wild populations but we keep looking. Sometimes we must depend upon seed collected from landscape grown plants. If we collect from landscape grown plants we make every effort to use plants grown in isolation. This ensures pure seed that had not been hybridized with other similar related plants.  Oaks easily hybridize with members of the same group. For example, members of the White Oak Group can hybridize with each other. Members of the White Oak Group include many common New Mexico Natives like the Gambel, Chinquapin, Bur, Gray, and Turbinella Oaks. The photo below shows a Turbinella Oak producing abundant seed.  This Oak is planted in a landscape where it receives sufficient water to support acorn production. We will be back to collect acorns from this Turbinella Oak. T

Consider the Spineless Prickly Pear; it is a Low Water, Low Maintenance, and Edible addition to your xeric garden. It will tolerate the heat and exposure of a west or south facing wall. It is also a great choice where water is limiting or in areas that are hard to water like roadsides or medians or places where you must carry water out to. It has showy flowers that change color from yellow to apricot. The pads of the Spineless Prickly Pear are edible and so is it's fruit.     It lacks the formidable spines of other prickly pear so could be planted nearer garden pathways. Pruning or shaping is easily accomplished using BBQ tongs and pruning shears thus avoiding any of its glochids (teeny tiny spines). Visit Trees That Please Nursery to view this prickly pear and other Native New Mexico cacti. Tree That Please Nursery An Albuquerque Area Nursery Located in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
