About Zygophyllum fabago L.

Scientific name: Zygophyllum fabago L. Characteristics: This species has invasive potential for two key reasons. First, it grows a long taproot; even fragmented pieces of this taproot can grow into entirely new plants. Second, its leaves have a tough, hardy wax coating that protects the plant from herbicides.
