Simmondsia chinensis ‘Vista’

Compact Jojoba

Jojoba has long been a favorite shrub for

desert landscapes. This Arizona native is

evergreen, extremely tough and durable.

Seed-grown jojoba varies widely in mature

size and form, and most can reach a size of

6-8 feet tall, especially if ample water is

available. ‘Vista’ is a compact, dense,

smaller selection of jojoba, and is

vegetatively propagated to maintain these

characteristics. Jojoba fruit contain a liquid

wax, which is extracted for use in

cosmetics and other products. Wildlife also

feed on the brown seed.
