Cnidoscolus acontifolius: ECHO
(Cnidoscolus aconitifolius)
Native to Mexico, this is a fast-growing, drought-tolerant, perennial shrub, typically reaching 3 m (10 ft) in height. As one of its common names (spinach tree) implies, it is grown for its dark-green leaves, which it produces in abundance.
ECHO's variety has leaves without irritating hairs.
