Big Sagebrush

Artemisia tridentata
Big sagebrush – a woody evergreen shrub, typically 2-10 feet tall. Big sagebrush has a stubby, branched trunk and a grayish-green bark, which shreds with age, and is topped by a rounded crown. Wedge-shaped leaves, about 1 inch long, have three teeth at the tip and are covered with silvery gray hairs that conserve moisture. The leaves of sage brush emit a pleasantly pungent aroma. Tiny yellow to whitish flower heads (September-October) grow in dense clusters at the ends of branchlets.
