As the creosote bush grows older, its oldest branches eventually die and its crown splits into separate crowns.
This normally happens when the plant is 30 to 90 years old.
Eventually, the old crown dies and the new one becomes a clonal colony from the previous plant, composed of many separate stem crowns all from the same seed.
