Plant of the Week: Mountain Mahogany
I couldn’t wait for fall because I knew this tree was going to be going to seed and it is so beautiful and unique I couldn’t wait to show you. Other than it’s spectacular “seed feathers”, it’s pretty nondescript and most people would never even notice it. It’s a Mountain Mahogany and is extremely drought resistant & very slow growing so you can’t really buy them in nurseries. A study dated one of these trees as 1350 years old so it’s right up there with the Bristlecones. The mule deer love them and the Native Americans used these tress for EVERYTHING from syphilis to burns, wounds, tuberculosis, stomach aches, etc. Because of its denseness, they also used it for making tools like arrowheads, & digging sticks. But I mostly wanted to bring it to your attention right now so you could find one and admire it covered in these Dr. Seuss style feather seed pods. It’s amazing!
