Larrea tridentata, known as the Creosote Bush, is a resilient evergreen shrub characterized by its open-branching habit and small, resinous, dark green leaves. It produces prolific yellow flowers followed by fuzzy white seed heads. Famous for its unique aroma after rainfall, this slow-growing plant is exceptionally drought-tolerant and can form ancient clonal rings. It thrives in well-drained, rocky soils and full sun, making it an essential species for xeric landscapes and wildlife.
