This species is widely distributed through the western United States. It is densely branched with small oval leaves with a grey-scaly texture. Some of the branches may become spine-like with age. It is fast growing and slightly bigger than A. canescens. Allscale saltbush is often found in or near alkaline flats and dry lakebeds. Like all saltbushes, it can access water in environments with excess salt by storing the salt in the leaves away from the plant cells. The salt is removed when the leaves are shed or eaten by foraging animals. This saltbush is often used in restoration projects because it is an important plant in creating shelter for birds and food for pollinators.
