Maintenance

Very low maintenance. Heat and drought tolerant. Good screen plant. Elbow bush is a useful plant for sunny, dry sites, or windy and saline locations. Native habitat: commonly found on dry, well-drained, and stony hillsides of the Rio Grande Plains, Trans-Pecos regions, and along the Gulf Coast. Not widely available commercially; find it at specialty native plant growers, especially in the Rio Grande Valley.

Comments

Blooms March-April. A rounded, shrub or small tree. Branches are stiff, growing at 90 degree angles, like elbows. Tiny, linear leaves are clustered on the branches. Male and female flowers are produced on separate plants. Flowers are inconspicuous, occurring in clusters in the spring before leaves appear. The fruit is a small, black, one-seed berry. Birds and small mammals eat the fruit. Because the flowers bloom early, they are an important source of nectar for bees and other nectar insects early in the year. Browsers eat the leaves. Larval host: Calleta Silkmoth and other moths.
