About

Originária da América do Norte, esta espécie caducifólia destaca-se pelos seus ramos aveludados que lembram hastes de veado e pela sua folhagem outonal bastante vibrante. Numa floresta de alimentos, é valorizada pela sua resistência à seca e utilidade culinária, no entanto o seu hábito de formar densas colónias através de rebentos radiculares exige alguma gestão.
