Atriplex confertifolia (Shadscale) is a species of evergreen shrub in the Chenopodiaceae family, which is native to the western United States.
Habitat
Atriplex confertifoli, Shadscale, is a common, often dominant, shrub in the lowest and driest areas of the Great Basin. It prefers sandy, well-drained soils and it is tolerant of moderately saline conditions.
Description
The height of Atriplex confertifoli varies from 1 to 3 feet. Shadscale fruits and leaves provide important winter browse for both domestic livestock and native herbivores. Compared to Fourwing saltbush - Atriplex canescens, shadscale has shorter and wider leaves and the fruit does not have four wings (although it may have two wings in a "V" shape).
