The palo verde, meaning "green stick", is the state tree. The palo verde is found in the desert and the foothills of Arizona. When the trees bloom in late spring, they look like gold.

What is a symbol?

Many states have symbols.

A symbol can be a thing or object that stands for something.

Symbols can paint a picture in your mind about a state.

If you use your imagination, you can see Arizona's symbols in the desert or in the mountains.

Each symbol was picked to show that Arizona is different from other states.
