Description

Jojoba, with the botanical name Simmondsia chinensis, and also known as goat nut, deer nut, pignut, wild hazel,quinine nut, coffeeberry, and gray box bush,is native to Southwestern North America.

Jojoba is grown commercially to produce jojoba oil, a liquid wax ester extracted from its seed.

The plant is a native shrub of: the Sonoran Desert,Colorado Desert, and Baja California Desert; and California chaparral and woodlands habitats in the Peninsular Ranges and San Jacinto Mountains. It is found in southern California, Arizona and Utah (U.S.), andBaja California state (Mexico).

Simmondsia chinensis, or Jojoba, typically grows to 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) tall, with a broad, dense crown, but there have been reports of plants as tall as 3m (9.8 ft).

The leaves are opposite, oval in shape, 2–4cm(0.79–1.57 in) long and 1.5–3cm (0.59–1.18 in) broad, thick, waxy, and glaucous gray-green in color.

The flowers are small and greeish-yellow, with 5–6 sepals and no petals. The plant typically blooms from March to May.

Each plant is dioecious, with hermaphrodites being extremely rare. The fruit is an acorn-shaped ovoid, three-angled capsule 1–2cm (0.39–0.79 in) long, partly enclosed at the base by the sepals. The mature seed is a hard oval that is dark brown and contains an oil (liquid wax) content of approximately 54%.
