Plants grow in poor dry soils in the wild. The whole leaf can be used in weaving. * Very young leaf buds are cooked as a vegetable. It also has numerous sharp needle-like spines produced on the leaf stems; these protect the stem growing point from browsing...

The species is often smaller, stunted and twisted in coastal exposures. * The mature trees grow to a height of 15-25 m, rarely up to 34 m, with a trunk diameter of up to 1.2 m. Muricata has been used in plantations with resultant growth rates higher than...

The bark is ground into a powder and then steeped in water in order to obtain the dye. * The "blue" refers to a substance secreted by the inner bark when exposed to air, not to the leaves, which are dark green, pale yellow in fall, or to the bark, which...
