It is a vigorous shrub resistant to cold, salt spray, and extreme drought. Fast-growing and upright, it tolerates even heavy pruning. Thanks to its vigorous growth and exceptional resistance to salt-laden winds, it is often used in \u003cstrong\u003ecoastal gardens\u003c\/strong\u003e to create excellent \u003cstrong\u003ewindbreak hedges\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage of Atriplex halimus is dense and small, characterized by a distinctive ovate-rhomboid shape and a grey-green color with bluish highlights.
