Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea)

$14.95

Live Butterfly Pea Plant
Ships in 100% Biodegradable 4" Coconut Fiber Planter

Butterfly Pea is an perennial or annual creeping vine with a shrubby habitat. Once established, this plant is incredibly easy to grow and requires little attention aside from helping to train it up a trellis. When in bloom, the Butterfly Pea is covered in bright blue blossoms.

The blue flowers are used to make tea and as a natural dye for food and even hair products. When used in liquid form, the color morphs depending on the ph. For example, the blue-purple color changes to bright pink when lemon or seltzer water is added and the acidity is raised. Very cool!

As a legume, its roots form a symbiotic association with soil bacteria known as rhizobia, which transform atmospheric N₂ into a plant-usable form (a process called nitrogen fixing), therefore, this plant is also used to improve soil quality through the decomposition of nitrogen rich plant material.

Butterfly Pea is well-known for it's traditional healing properties in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.

In Ayurvedic medicine, Shatavari is an amazingly healing plant with numerous benefits but is most well known for being the quintessential herb for the female reproductive system. It's nourishing and nurturing to the female organs and body tissues and has been used for centuries to promote fertility and improve female reproductive health, restore hormonal balance, support breast-feeding and pregnancy, help reduce symptoms of menopause, and even as a natural aphrodisiac. Shatavari also falls into the category of adaptogenic herbs, meaning that it may help to regulate the body's systems and improve resistance to stress. Typically used in tonic or powdered form, but the root is edible raw and has a sweet and bitter flavor.

Monkey Orange, Klapper Fruit (Strychnos spinosa)

$17.95

Live Monkey Orange Fruit Tree
Ships in 100% Biodegradable Coconut Fiber Planter

This tropical deciduous fruit tree really blew our minds when we stumbled across it in an old rare fruit park in our hometown. A friend had mentioned there was a really unique fruit tree in the area so we went out on the hunt. At first, it's attractive growth pattern and glossy flaky bark caught our attention. And then we saw the fruit everywhere! All over the tree and ripe fallen fruit resting in it's shade.

The small to medium sized tree is indigenous to South Africa. The green grapefruit-sized fruit is round with a very thick woody skin, changing to a warm yellow color as it ripens. It needs to be whacked pretty hard (think coconuts) to be opened, but it's totally worth it! Inside, the thick yellow creamy pulp has a strong and sweet aroma with a SUPREME FLAVOR. African Monkey Orange fruit tastes just like bubble gum and cream soda! It's pretty cool. Due to the thick skin, this fruit has an incredible shelf life.

Monkey Orange trees have various traditional and medicinal uses in their native regions. The wood of can be used for carving and timber; the bark, root or unripe fruit may be used as an anti-venom (due to the possible presence of strychnine). A poultice of the leaves may also be used as a natural insecticide against aphids and scale insects, and so on.

Simpson's Stopper (Myrcianthes fragrans)

$14.95

Live Simpson's Stopper Plant
Ships in 100% Biodegradable Coconut Fiber Planter

Simpson's Stopper is a fruiting shrub or small tree native to Florida, among other exotic locales like the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America, all the way south through Columbia and Venezuela. It is a member of the Eucalyptus family and produces springtime flowers, colorful berries, and fragrant evergreen leaves.

The leaves have a warm nostalgic fall-like aroma when crushed - think spicey cinnamon and citrus. The showy white flowers are also very fragrant and are followed by red-orange berries in mid-summer and early fall. While these berries are edible and the fast-growing shrub is heavily utilized as a popular landscaping hedge, the plants are not often grown for the citrusy flavored berry - yet. I'll admit that the flavor and texture won't absolutely knock your socks off, but it's not unpalatable by any means and it really is a beautiful and useful native shrub. We love the look, texture, fragrance, and pop of color that growing Simpon's Stopper adds to our edible landscape!

Red Abyssinian is cultivated for it's highly ornamental red to burgundy foliage and edible root. Although the root is rare to consume in the U.S., it's a very important food crop in Ethiopia.

It grows quickly and effortlessly. Like bananas, these plants spread through suckers and produce a banana like fruit, although these ones aren't very edible. Also like bananas, Red Abysinnian's aren't fruit trees, but rather monocarpic perennial herb plants! They can grow up to 10 feet tall in temperate areas and up to 20 feet tall in sub-tropical areas. Best planted in full sun, which will bring a brighter coloration in the leaves, but it's important to provide protection from strong winds as they can damage the leaves. Fun Fact: Native to Eastern Africa, Abyssinia is actually an older name for Ethiopia, which, along with Kenya, is the heart of what we now call East Africa.
