Breynia Species, Katuk, Sweetleaf Bush (Breynia androgyna)


The more it is pruned, the more branches it will produce.

Leaves are attractive too

I noticed some fruit formation today. 18 Nov 2010. It was close to 1cm diameter. It must be edible too as leaves are vitamin-rich.


I rescued this plant 4 years ago when the garden underwent a reshape following property division. Doing nicely now.

It flowers on the underside.

Grown here in Jupiter FL. zone 10 Grows up to 8 ft and taller. Prune to make more branches more to harvest.
