WHERE DO I LIVE? The Desert Ironwood is a tree found in washes and valleys and only grows in the Sonoran Desert. They can adapt to dry weather by shedding leaves in order to conserve energy. They can be easily found in the sand marshes of the desert because the possibility of water being there is much higher than most places in the desert.
