This is the Loral Sumac or taco tree. (Scientific name= Malosma) There were about ten Laurel Sumacs lining the main trail. This tree gives off a fragrence and is highly flammable.
Lemonade Berry Tree; Scientific name=Rhus integrifolia. They have waxy leaves to prevent water loss. People long ago, used these berries to make a type of juice. We only saw about five of these trees around Eaton Canyon.
The third picture is a syccamore tree (Platanus occidentalis). These trees are only found in river territories. We recognized about twenty of these trees. They are recognizable by there white tree trunks. They grow quickly and live for hundreds of years.
