62/ chañar, Geoffroea decorticans

Supposedly this tree can go months without water and can tolerate temp extremes of -13C to over 40C. I started the seedlings last summer, kept them in garage over winter and this will be their 1st winter outside. 

Some insect keeps eating the leaves so I tried it. They’re a bit tasteless, kinda grassy, a little sting after a while. Bean tree, fixes N. No extra water than nature. Have been occasionally fertilizing bc I want it to grow! (Tasty fruit and seed.)
