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.
