Entada Schinziana

Entada schinziana is a striking tropical tree known for its massive, hollow pods that can grow up to six meters in length. Native to parts of Africa and the Caribbean, this plant has been used for centuries by indigenous communities for its unique properties. The pods, often referred to as "gourds" or "bottle trees," are not only decorative but also have medicinal and cultural significance. Its rapid growth and distinctive appearance make it a popular choice for ornamental planting in warm climates. Despite its beauty, the plant requires careful handling due to its toxic seeds and sap.
