Goatheads ( Tribulus terrestris ) are native to Southern Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Goatheads are also called stickers, sticker weed, bullhead, devil’s weed, and puncturevine.

If you miss’em visually then they will stab you painfully in the fingers as you work your garden, or stick to your clothing and shoes. Goatheads are the primary reason local bicyclists must get “thorn proof” tires for riding on area trails and streets. Goatheads have prostrate stems that radiate outward from one central point.

Each nutlet is a single seed that becomes hard or woody when mature. Each seed has two sharp spines that easily penetrat

Sand Bur can disseminate its seeds long distances because its sharp spines will hitch a ride on skin, animal hides,
