Add item to quote to see pricing

Fouquieria columnaris is a remarkable specimen better known as the Boojum Tree. Descended from the arid landscapes of Baja California, this distinct plant finds its place within the esteemed Cacti & Succulents family. Standing at an impressive height of up to 60 feet, its unique aesthetics come to life in a slender, soaring trunk covered in a cascade of delicate, spiraled branches. These branches, in turn, bring forth a vibrant display of bright yellow flowers in the cooler weather, enriching your garden's visual appeal. The trifling, deciduous leaves add an extra layer of intrigue to its sculptured form. Instinctively built for resilience, the Boojum Tree exemplifies water-efficiency at its best, ingeniously storing water in its trunk and branches to counter periods of drought. It thrives vivaciously under full sun but won't shy away from a dash of shade, promising a degree of adaptability in its planting location. Choose the Boojum Tree for a fascinating, low-maintenance infusion of desert charm into your landscape.
