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.
