The Jojoba tree belongs to the family of the Simmondsiaceae, and ranges from 0.5-6m (but usually 2-2.5m) in height with a tap root that is able to penetrate 15-25m below the soil surface. It normally flowers in spring after the autumn/winter rains. The fruit is a capsule containing one to three dark brown seeds. They ripen during the spring and early summer and seeds fall to the ground in late summer.
