Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularis) can be planted as a fast growing and drought tolerant hedge. The Coyote Brush is of great importance in ecological restoration, as it is one of the first plants to reappear in areas where the vegetation was removed by disturbance, such as a bulldozer, fire, grazing or tilling, and thus provides food and shelter for many creatures and protection for small seedlings of other plant varieties.
