Neighborhood Plants brings the rangelands to our neighbors. Explore the diversity of TX plants from your own 'backyard'. In this episode, you'll learn how to identify lime pricklyash, a native perennial shrub that is found growing across neighborhoods and rangelands. Most often, this shrub bears many sharp, cat-claw-like thorns on it, so be careful when handling the stems. The leaves provide forage for white-tailed deer. The flowers provide nectar to pollinators. It is a larval host site for the northern sicklewing and giant swallowtail butterfly. The seeds are eaten by birds, such as bobwhite quail. It also provides nesting sites for many birds and cover for many wildlife species.
