It looks like a tree collected from a rock.I bought it for six bucks (!),from the guy who dug it up.(But wouldn't tell me where.He would jusy say "Northern New Mexico".)The tree had almost no roots,and I was concerned it wouldn't live.It finally has enough roots to stand up unassisted in the pot.I'll post a photo,if anyone wants to see it.
