Good king Henry is a very good relative of this it is perenial cold hardy very close relative of this it isn’t as big but it can spread you. Saltbush aslo is very cool relative of this the leaves of it are salty and you might be able to be breed both they’s with tree spinach to make ornamental edible bushes and ground covers maybe you could aslo breed this with orach to make variegated purple greens orach is a annual through. I am also trying to grow relative of tree spinach’s huizontle wild native chenopodium closely related to tree spinach it is used in Mexican cooking and is also very big plant.
mine grows 15 feet tall and all of my neighbours have it as the seeds travel far and wide. once you have it, you'll always have it.
wow!!!! That sounds incredible!
Of that is great. I can"t wait until my community is infested with this and cardoons.
Where can I get seeds or seedling? I'm in the US.
I’m growing one in a pot and it’s growing so fast! It’s lovely to look at.
What time of year is best to plant?
I love my tree spinach, I have a quick question, is it one plant or it it multiple in the pot so should we thin them out?
You could think them out - but I would plant it as a clump and get it nice and thick and established :)
How much space does it need for a seasons growth?
you can limit it by choppping it back, but honestly give it as much space as you can... it turns into a monster!
Hi Henry, i have huge pots and they growing all over my other plants. Is this okay
Sure! Although they can self seed everywhere
Is there a tree spinach with white buds ? I bought a “ tree spinach at a flea market “ I do not know the scientific name.
I thought tree spinach was toxic unless you cook it, but you mention a salad?
there are a few different plants that use the name Tree Spinach - this is chenopodium giganteum
