Baccharis salicifolia, commonly known as Mule Fat, is a deciduous shrub native to western North America, primarily found in riparian habitats such as stream banks, marshes, and wetlands. It is characterized by its slender, willow-like leaves and upright growth habit, reaching heights of up to ten feet. Mule Fat produces small, inconspicuous flowers in dense clusters, followed by fluffy white seeds that are dispersed by the wind. This adaptable shrub can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions and moisture levels, making it well-suited to various riparian ecosystems.
