Great return to Desert Trees an icon original in NW Tucson n of Tucson National golf club & N of Overton rd . Short drive on a dirt rd reminds me of living out in the area in early 70s when thornydale was a dirt rd & the eagles & country rock ruled . Nostalgia aside it's worth the drive on sat am's ( 8 am -?) this large wholesale nursery is open to the public only sat am . Like worth the drive it's worth the wait to visit Desert Trees with a huge variety of low water , desert tolerant plants , cacti , & trees . I called during the week to order my specific plant (s) & color (s) with Sandy . Arrived on sat & order was ready yet welcomed to look around for more. Tony was also very helpful wearing a gaitor mask . ( FYI very quiet not like waiting in crowded lines in box box stores nurseries).I saw a unique purple blooming " Texas ranger although they were not PC historically) it was called a convent rare & would be great planted or in a pot . Sandy said they have 5 different types of the same plant ! If you want unique it's available there . No fancy yard art just great selection & great prices . It was a fun educational adventure to re visit a local 40+ year old tucson treasure Desert Trees. You may want to use your gos app for directions . read more
