The Desert Survivor
If trees could talk...
Would they paint a portrait of
Arizona's climate, inhabitants and
events? Would they be an impartial
witness and tell it like they saw it?
Arizona's rich history has been wit-
nessed by many, but none so endur-
ing as these living specimens. Some
planted by pioneers for specifi c pur-
poses, some happened upon and
used throughout the years for what
we Arizonans needed at various
times throughout statehood. They
are a living legacy enjoyed and uti-
lized by Arizona's inhabitants and
now honored for their service.
These Witness Trees were dedi-
cated as part of Arizona's Centen-
nial, verifi ed to have witnessed Ari-
zona's statehood form February 14,
1912, to February 14, 2012.
This ironwood tree resides in the
town of Quartzsite. It is in remark-
able condition for its age - 1,050
years old, as determined by the La
Paz County University of Arizona
Extension offi ce- probably due to its
location close to a wash. It is view-
able by a trail outside of the Town
Hall, north of the water tank. It has
witnessed the ages from the same
location and recently in its his-
tory has become accustomed to the
yearly winter population boom of
Quartzsite, located along Interstate
10 next to the Arizona/California
border. Ironwoods are known for
their dense timber, as limbs from
these trees do not fl oat.

Follow your heart. Don't follow what you've been
told you're supposed to do." ~J. Cole
