It has fleshy dark green branches, the branches appear to be leafless. The diameter of the umbrella reaches 110-200 cm. Young pods are bluish, cylindrical, jointed, juicy, and turn black in winter. The seeds are small, egg-shaped. The vegetation period begins in June, it blooms and bears fruit in July-November.It can be used as a source of fuel and potash.

It contains an optically inactive amino acid and an active C 9H 13 O alkaloid, which has a sedative effect similar to that of ephedrine.The formation is represented by 6 associations:1) Halostachys belangeriana;2) Halostachys belangeriana+Tamarix ramosissima+T.meyeri3) Halostachys belangeriana – Eremopyrum triticeum4) Halostachys belangeriana-Halocnemum strobilaceum5) Halostachys belangeriana–Salicornia europeae6) Halostachys belangeriana–Petrosimonia brachiata.
