No, for the longest time I thought tumbleweed was dead sagebrush. After a bit of research I learned tumbleweed is a completely different species that was introduced by Russian immigrants settling in the West. The plant itself is devoid of foliage with spiny barbs covering its branches. Originally, the plant grows underground. Once it breaks the surface, grubs chew at its base making it susceptible to breaking off under windy conditions, which spreads the seeds as it "tumbles" across the desert floor.
