How does the Joshua tree live?

The Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) thrives in the arid climates of the Mojave Desert, where it requires minimal water and can survive extreme temperatures. It has a deep root system that helps it access groundwater and is adapted to store moisture in its thick, spiky leaves. Pollination is primarily facilitated by the yucca moth, which relies on the tree for its lifecycle, creating a mutualistic relationship. This unique adaptation allows the Joshua tree to reproduce and sustain itself in challenging environments.
