Desert Plants And Flowers

The Creosote Bush, Larrea tridentata, is an extremely drought tolerant plant which live in clonal colonies where new shoots are constantly being produced at the edges of the the root crown. This process occurs over several centuries. As the plants in the center die, new ones grow outward in a circle from the edges.

Individual plants can live to be from 100-200 years old.
