However, seeds of a similar species, camelthorn, retain viability following excretion by animals and may remain dormant for many years. Russian salttree seeds may exhibit similar characteristics. Any new infestations should be monitored for seedling emergence for several years. Livestock should be removed from the site before seed pods are produced. Russian salttree may also spread vegetatively.
New plants arise from adventitious buds on deep, lateral roots.
It is nearly impossible to hand dig and remove this type of root system, and regeneration from severed roots will likely occur. Shoots may be repeatedly removed by cutting or mowing. There is no available literature regarding chemical control of Russian salttree. Spot treatments of systemic, nonselective, herbicides such as glyphosate will control plant shoots and possibly kill some roots. Regrowth is likely from well established root systems.
