Bitter Leaf Tree Gymnanthemum Extensum
Gymnanthemum extensum, also known as Vernonia amygdalina, Pim Pai Lin, 展枝斑鸠菊 zhan zhi ban jiu ju, and หนานเฉาเหว่ย nan chao woe, is an edible plant with bitter leaves used in folkloric practices across Asia and Africa. Leaves are described as a crispy substitute for salad greens and linked to remedies for parasitic worms, diabetes regulation, and malaria symptoms. Bitterness is an evolutionary trait; many herbalists offset it by boiling or soaking the leaves in water.
It belongs to the Asteraceae family; size ranges from a small shrub to about twenty feet tall, varying by region. In the wild, it grows near water sources and in areas with high rainfall and humidity. Prime harvesting occurs during the rainy season, when clipping shoots encourages new growth. Traditional uses include water-based extracts for alleged liver diseases, gastrointestinal issues, bacterial infections, malaria, diabetes, and kidney problems; consult medical professionals before any DIY-doctoring.

Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
