Latin Name:  Baccharis patagonica
Family:  Compositae
Author:  Hook.&Arn.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:  3   Mature Width:  3
 
Habitat:  Rock crevices, forest margins and coastal sands[69].



General Uses:  A very good hedge for exposed maritime conditions[166, 182, 200]. It is exceedingly tolerant of maritime exposure and amenable to clipping, though it is rather slow growing[K]. Plants tend to be as wide or wider than they are tall and produce a very dense weed-excluding cover[K]. Plants have an extensive root system and can be grown on sand or thin coastal soils in order to bind the soil[200]. Resinous secretions on the leaves and wood make this a useful fuel[11]. It is a fairly small plant though and would not be a very productive source.
