Narrative
Winterfat is an erect shrub that can grow to 3 feet tall. Under dryland conditions near Grantsville, UT it grows to about 2 feet wide by 1.5 feet tall. 9067481 is mostly monecious. Leaves are alternate, narrowly linear, flat, with rolled under edges and densely hairy. Seed is a utricle surrounded by silky, white hairs 1/8 to � inch long arranged in dense spreading tufts. It produces abundant seed. The anticipated uses are rangeland restoration, erosion control, and for livestock and big game browse (especially in winter) in arid to semi-arid and alkaline/saline areas. Its shape and root system provides excellent erosion control especially in areas where very little other vegetation can survive.

Pedigree
Description:
Northern Cold Desert Germplasm was selected from a collection of 45 accessions assembled and evaluated at the Aberdeen Plant materials Center from 1978 to 1986. The germplasm is a composite of 5 accessions collected from various sites in Utah and Colorado from 1974-1977. The five accessions were selected for their tolerance to cold temperatures and then were planted in a seed increase block that was not reproductively isolated.
