Atriplex halimus plants begin to lose their leaves.

As happened in the summer of 2022, the Atriplex halimus plants begin to wither and fall to the ground. It is a strategy of the species to withstand the most unfavorable period due to the extremely high temperatures of summer.

We measure the plants again in June 2023

In June 2023, 18 months after planting, we measure the height and width of the plants again. The development of the vegetation is very remarkable, with some species such as Atriplex halimus and Dorycnium pentaphyllum with individuals reaching more than 2 meters in height.
