California Ephedra is a perennial evergreen plant with a spindly appearance. Plants are diecious meaning a plant is either male or female; both male and female plants must be grown to produce seed. Three small leaves are located at each node. Male plants produce cones with bright yellow pollen and female plants produce egg shaped seed cones. It’s a very long-lived species and can live up to centuries.
Typically, Ephedra Californica are found in large stands located in washes, arid grasslands, the side of dry, creosote-bush scrub, chaparral and dunes.
