Rating for this plant:
This shub/small tree occurs naturally in Mexico, Central America, South America to Brazil. It has a single trunk and given freedom of space it can grow up to 20'(6m). Take care with small children and pets due to toxicity. The plant grows quickly and large lobed leaves provide a lovely filtered sun. Do not fertilize or if you must, fertilize very sparingly. Requires very little water.
