5 JOJOBA Plant Tree Seeds
(Simmondsia chinensis)
Fruit Nut Oil Goatnut
Jojoba; Goatnut (Simmondsia chinensis) is a common native shrub that grows in Southern and Central California, primarily in the Peninsular Range and Sonoran Desert regions. It is moderately fast growing and long-lived. It grows in a rounded form to a height of 7 feet, with active growth during the summer and fall. Flowers are yellow and bloom in the late spring. Male and female flowers are borne on separate plants, the “goatnut” fruits only being found on female plants with male plants nearby. Leaves are medium green, and remain on the plant throughout the year. It tends to grow in rocky and sandy soils, at elevations from 0-4900 feet. Jojoba prefers light, coarsely textured soils. Good drainage and water penetration is necessary. It tolerates salinity and poor-nutrient soils. Soil pH should be between 5 and 8. High temperatures are tolerated by jojoba, but frost can damage or kill plants. Requirements are poor because jojoba plants do not need an intensive Weed problems only occur during the first two years after planting and there is little damage by insects. Supplemental irrigation could maximize production if rainfall is less than 16″. There is no need for high fertilization, but, especially in the first year, nitrogen increases growth.
Jojoba is applied directly to the skin for acne, psoriasis, sunburn, and chapped skin. It is also used topically to encourage the regrowth of hair in people who are balding. In manufacturing, Jojoba is used as an ingredient in shampoo; lipstick; makeup; cleansing products; and in face, hand, and body lotions.
Jojoba Germination:
Using a heated propagator, seeds can be germinated in vermiculite or sand at 80°F. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in very well drained soil and keep barely moist and very warm until germination, which takes 20 to 30 days. Without a heated propagator they could take months.
