Creosote bush or Larrea Tridentata grows in the Desert Southwest; it gives the desert rain its marvelous trademark smell
The creosote bush is adapted to its desert environment with waxy leaves that reduce water loss through transpiration and shallow roots that spread widely to quickly absorb moisture from rain. It also produces chemicals that deter herbivores and inhibit the growth of competing plants, allowing it to thrive in arid conditions.
Yes, creosote fumes are toxic, as well as skin contact with creosote, or ingestion. Asphalt workers; railroad workers; iron, steel, rubber, and tire factory workers; wood preservative industry workers; and coke-producing industry workers are all at higher risk for exposure to creosote fumes.
Creosote can leach into the surrounding soil and harm plants, especially if they are sensitive to toxic chemicals. Placing a creeper over a creosoted fence may not be advisable as the plant could absorb the toxins. It is recommended to use alternatives to creosote-treated wood for structures near plants.

It also produces chemicals that deter herbivores and inhibit the growth of competing plants, allowing it to thrive in arid conditions.
The creosote bush sends out runners from the mother plant that grow a new plant. Over the years these clone plants form a ring around where the mother plant once grew. Some of these creosote rings have been carbon dated at over 11,000 years old.
All plants in the region are producers. The most visible are the creosote bush, mesquites and grasses.
