It grows as small tree up to 7 metres high, but its branches commonly hang down to the ground, making it look more like a shrub than a tree.

"Salvadora" is native to the hottest, dryest areas of the Middle East.

Taxonomy

It was named by Laurent Garcin in honour of Spanish botanist Juan Salvador y Bosca
