50 pcs of Creosote SEEDS.
The creosote bush is one of the oldest living organisms on Earth
Creosote bush stands tend to resemble man-made orchards in the even placement of plants. Originally, it was assumed that the plant produced some sort of water-soluble inhibitor that prevented the growth of other bushes near mature, healthy bushes.
Now, however, it has been shown that the root systems of mature creosote plants are simply so efficient at absorbing water that fallen seeds nearby cannot accumulate enough water to germinate, effectively creating dead zones around every plant. It also seems that all plants within a stand grow at approximately the same rate, and that the creosote bush is a very long-living plant.
These mature creosote seeds were harvested from my large healthy organic plants that get regular watering and produce large robust seed. They are not from wild plants that sometimes do not get water and thus bear smaller, less vigorous seeds.
