Maria2000 on Nostr: Yaupon holly grows in abundance on our property, and it can sometimes be a nuisance ...
Yaupon holly grows in abundance on our property, and it can sometimes be a nuisance tree that sprouts under oak trees and tries to take over. But I have learned that yaupon is the only indigenous plant in north america that contains caffeine, and in my opinion that alone makes it a worthy inhabitant on my property. The leaves are also anti-inflammatory, contain antioxidants, and also contain theobromine (an ingredient found in chocolate). The tea contains low tannin levels, so you can steep it longer without getting a bitter flavor. I have roasted and dried yaupon leaves, and they make a tasty tea. For all these reasons, I believe yaupon holly deserves at least a small space on any property. #grownostr #permaculture #trees
