Narrative
Saline-tolerant, perennial evergreen shrub. Grows 3-10 dm in height. Herbaceous on top, woody below. Flowers from summer to fall; dioecious. Fruit is utricle enclosed in tubercled bracts. Seeds are 1.5-2 mm long, broad; radicle is superior. Extremely drought-tolerant; appears to be tolerant of most insect pests. Susceptible to Cotton Root Rot (Phymatotrichum omnivorum) which weakens root system and kills the plant. Uses: windbreak, to prevent soil erosion, as ornamental.
