straggly

There were some pools of water standing in a coulee, at whose head grew a clump of wild plum trees and other straggly growth.

Presently he saw a number of straggly things dangling downward from the rocks and soil overhead.

His straggly gray beard confronted the fire-fighters everywhere, goading on the laggards, cheering the valiant.

Fancy calling that wiry stuff grass in England, and admiring those straggly creepers and shrubs.

The main column of soldiers far below poured up to the village and went down the straggly street in a tide of dark figures.
