Tumbleweeds: the fastest plant invasion in the USA’s history
Tumbleweed, wind witch and Russian cactus are among the many common names for the Russian thistle (Salsola tragus) – though it isn’t a thistle or a cactus at all and is instead part of the Amaranth family.
This plant is an icon of the Old West, featured in movies, song lyrics and more, however, its representation in media may be somewhat misleading.
