Calotropis procera is a shrub of 2 meters or more quite common in the arid regions of Africa and the Middle East
Its green fruits are comparable to oval apples, some say to large testicles (hence the vulgar names of roustonnier or tree with balls which would have been given to it by the legionnaires).
The trunk is usually simple, without lower branches, covered with cracked yellowish bark
The leaves are large, reaching up to 30 centimeters. Green in color, lighter on the underside, they are opposite, simple, subsessile, cordate at the base, bearing a white down when young. All parts of the plant exude a white latex when broken
Magnificent white and purple flowers with 5 pointed petals united in umbels
The apple tree of Sodom is a plant that is both very toxic and very useful, of which the populations of the Sahel know how to exploit all the possibilities.
The bark and pounded twigs help to curdle the milk
The latex, which contains calotropin, is cardiotoxic. It was used to make poisoned arrows, but it can also be used to treat camel wounds or to rid animals of their ticks. It is also used as an antiemetic.
SHIPPING is 5 to 8 weeks
Package Contain 4 Seeds (approx.)
