Good question, mum! Apparently it's unique shape reminded early Mormon settlers of a Biblical story in which Joshua reaches his hands up to the sky in prayer. I know (have read, that is) that U2 were captivated by these trees as they drove through the desert. Their Joshua Tree album is a classic.
Mum/Marion very strange, wonder why the name ?
