EQUISETUM  HYEMALE  also known as Horstail and  Scouring Rush.

A hardy perennial dating back to the Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic Era, at which time the fossil record shows that they grew over 40 feet tall with the diameter of a large tree trunk. This vertical, rush-like evergreen spreading perennial produces branch-less, hollow and corrugated stems with black bands ring the nodes and reaches 5 to 6 feet in height.  The hollow stems retain large quantities of silica, hence another common name Scouring Rush, which give them an abrasive quality which was used for centuries to smooth the shafts of arrows, polish suits of armor, fine finish work in watch making, cabinetry, scour barrels, filing and polishing metals.

Equestum Hyemal can be used in ponds in water up to 4 inches deep, at the edge, or plant directly in the ground. It will grow well in full sun or shade, and is hardy below 15 degrees F. Horsetails show promise as ground covers for dikes, road cuts, abandoned strip mines and other bare areas. They tend to absorb heavy metals, and so may be useful as biological monitors of water or soil contamination by zinc, cadmium and lead.

The Equisetum  hyemal  has the stunning look of Bamboo on a small scale

We are open to the public by appointment only, please call us at (805) 969-9178 so we can explore dates and times for our get together. Weekdays between 2 pm and 6:30pm are best . GPS guidance will get you to our mailbox which is located approx. ¾ mi. from the Ranch on a single lane mountain road. We are not easy to find and generally discourage visitors who just want to look, I do this for several reasons , some of which are to limit the traffic on the private one lane road so my neighbors are not inconvenienced, not fill up our very limited parking spaces, and minimize the interruptions on our operations so I am able to have more time to spend with family.
