TREES AND SHRUBS

Douglas Spruce or Red Fir. (Pseudotsuga mucronata) 



narrowly conical. The younger branches are rather light 

 colored and the bark thin. 



The Junipers and Cedars. The Junipers and Cedars 

 and their relatives are relatively small widely-branching 

 trees or shrubs, with short scale-like leaves and spheroidal 

 berry-like fruits, the scales of which are thickened and some- 

 what pulpy, at least when young. They grow in New Mexico 

 mostly on the lower and drier mountain slopes, associated with 

 the pinyon and the evergreen oaks. There are representatives 

 of three genera in the State. 



The Arizona Cypress (Cupressus arizonica) is a tree 

 which reaches rather large size in the mountains of Arizona.
