nut/Soap Berry (Trigonachras cultrata)

Outplanted this Soap nut/Soap Berry (Trigonachras cultrata) as a replacement to some species that did not survive the El Niño earlier this year. 



The drupes (soapnuts) contain saponins, which have surfactant properties, having been used for washing by ancient Asian and American peoples. ❤️🌱🌳
