Habit of Prunus armeniaca, along Route 66, northern Yavapai County.

Habit; Chino Point in background.
Notice that this waif is growing next to a ditch, which probably collects extra water from run-off from the road and from the nearby bluffs, making it possible for the tree to survive in the arid region.

Same tree as in prior images.
