Adenostoma Fasciculatum: Greasewood/Chamise

Native to Oregon, Nevada and Northern California, Adenostoma fasciculatum is a flowering evergreen shrub growing to 4m tall, with dry-looking stick-like branches. The oily leaves give rise to the common name greasewood. Calflora uses the common name chamise. It is very drought tolerant and adaptable, with the ability to grow in nutrient-poor, barren soil and on dry, rocky outcrops. It can be found in serpentine soils, which are generally inhospitable to most plants, as well as in slate, sand, clay, and gravel soils. Chaparral habitats are known for their fierce periodical wildfires, and like other chaparral flora, chamise dries out, burns, and recovers quickly to thrive once again. It is a plant that controls erosion well, sprouting from ground level in low basal crowns that remain after fires, preventing the bare soil from being washed away.
