Description: From seed we collected from the remnants of a decrepit old tree growing on a high mountain pass in northern Vietnam in the autumn of 2006. Where it had only attained just over 3m with few sturdy spiny branches, bearing corky stems with red-black capsules, splitting to reveal the glossy black seed within, adhered close to the surface in irregular long gregarious patches. The young aromatic pinnate foliage is enhanced with red venation and needle-like red spines along the mid-ribs. Best grown in a well drained soil in sun or part shade.
