Jurema (Mimosa hostilis)

One of my Jurema (Mimosa hostilis) after 17mos on the ground. 



This is native to the northeastern region of Brazil. It is a nitrogen fixer and a good source of fodder for animals. It is also an important source of forage for bees, especially during the dry season. A tea can be made of the leaves and stem to treat tooth pain.
