Russian thistle (Salsola tragus) is a broadleaf weed common in the southwest United States. As it grows, Russian thistle resembles a small bush, growing up to 6 feet in width with thin stems that can reach 3 feet in length. Its foliage, upon closer look, has slightly red or purple stripes. In the fall and early winter months, Russian thistle dries and breaks free.
Russian thistle is a bushy annual forb that grows 6 to 36 inches tall and reproduces from seed. Stems are usually red or purple striped. Flowers are green and hard to recognize near the upper leaves. Seeds are spread as mature plants break off at ground level and tumble with the wind.
