Ceanothus americanus (New Jersey Tea) #5 Pot
Description
American buckthorn is valued not only for its ornamental appeal but also for its ecological benefits. Its roots help stabilize soil and prevent erosion, while its foliage provides habitat and food for various wildlife species. Additionally, the plant has historical significance; its leaves were used by early American settlers as a substitute for tea, which is how it earned the common name "New Jersey tea." This hardy shrub is often used in landscaping for its ability to thrive in challenging conditions and its low-maintenance requirements.
