What plant does the tumbleweed come from?and who wants Yuccas???
Actually, tumbleweeds are what remains of the plant:


Amaranthus albus or Amaranthus graecizans





When the plant dies, it snaps off at ground level and what is left is a 2 or 3 foot ball of dead plant that is called a tumbleweed. The first time I encountered one on my way to Arizona 40 years ago, one crossed the highway in front of me and I slammed on the brakes to avoid a collision. Never did that again.

Reply:All dead plants have tumbleweed potential: a tumbleweed is just a dead plant -sometimes roots and all- that is blown around in the wind.

Tell your neighbour that now you have found the names, he has to memorise them!

Tumbleweeds are dried up sage that are blowing in the wind..
