Hi Cristian!

Cordia is used for rope (Cordia? Rope?), the leaves are used as cattle fodder in India, and the fruit has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also known as "Assyrian plum". It is in the Boraginaceae and is considered an invasive weed. So you may be doin
g Argentina a terrible disservice by growing this plant: make sure it doesn't get loose!

Someone described it as "a small tree with large, entangled branches. Looking from the ground, it looks a crazy puzzle or a bird´s nest". That sounds promising for bonsai.

Hey Jim, it's introduced into Florida- ever seen it?
