We lived in Lancaster, CA near the Mojave Desert way back in 1958-59. My mom loved the Joshua "Tree" and penned this poem that I know by heart. Titled "The Joshua Tree"..."A lonely caricature of a tree, stands sentinel on the desert-free, it's limbs are gnarled and prickly, and good to scratch on when you're tickly." Written by Jean Fazekas (Rogers)
Yes Virginia the "Joshua tree" doesn't exist. It's a myth according to the lingua franca of the Biologist. But the common "man" uses the common name. The language I use depends which population I'm speaking to. In the end a rose by any other name is a rose.

Do the Joshua tree deniers also say that palm trees are not true trees?
When pressed, yes.
