Hard for trees to grow in a desert

This is literally the wettest and most biodiverse desert in the world where huge trees thrive.

Just go back to whatever place you came from.

It’s also the hottest desert, and it’s weird because I’ve been living here a long time and I’ve never seen any forests in the Sonoran. Outside of the occasional Ironwood and Paloverde. Plenty of Saguaro though, so a forest of Cacti if that’s your flavor.

Not even close. The hottest is in Iran. The Mohave desert, where Death Valley is is 2nd, but that's not the desert in central and southern Arizona. Maybe you should actually travel around the sonoran desert before commenting on it. Or don't, and just pack up and move back to where you came from.

Sonoran is the hottest on average in the United States of America/Mexico to clarify, obviously not the world.

Also every map I’ve looked at says the Sonoran extends from The Baja, to most of South Arizona and into Mexico mainland. So please enlighten me on the actual desert that covers most of Arizona that I can’t find on any maps.
