This isn't the only tree we have found that has been well rubbed by cows but it is the biggest, and best example of it. I have talked to some tree experts, even taking one to see it, and they figure it is at least 300 hundred years old or more. A lot of the bigger junipers here are. In fact it is a bit odd to find a baby tree or seedling. In this shot my husband, Lee, and our border collie, Tuffee are taking a rest under it. The housing develepements are now with in a mile of where this tree is and develepers simply bulldoze these beautiful trees down when they want to put a house there. To them it is just in the way of their making more money. To me it the death of a magnificent part of our desert.
