BOOJUM UNLIMITED

Boojum (Fouquieria columnaris) is adapted to the warm desert conditions of central Baja California, Mexico. It respond to winter rains by leafing and growing and goes dormant in the hot dry summer. This makes the boojum tree an extremely well adapted desert plant. It can tolerate mild freezes, but may be damaged by a hard freeze. Boojum trees grow well in the southwest US, in areas with similar growth conditions, and in properly maintained greenhouses designed for desert plants.

Boojum Unlimited (boojumunltd@aol.com) has been in business since 1976. The nursery encompasses 2 acres of Sonoran Desert west of Tucson, AZ. We grow and sell only boojum trees and are open by appointment. Due to the size and nature of these plants, we do not ship, but have been known to deliver with the proper incentive.

Our nursery plants are grown from seed collected and planted by the owner. These 18 to 29 year old boojum trees have not been 'pushed', therefore, they have larger diameter trunks than most nursery grown plants. Our boojum trees are growing in the ground and many have natural multiple stems, including two, five headed plants.

It is now illegal to collect boojum tree seeds or plants from Mexico without permits from the Mexican government, which are all but impossible to obtain.

Boojum Unlimited is also available as an information source on the natural history, propagation, and horticultural needs of these unique Sonoran Desert plants.
