Cojoba Arborea
Cojoba Arborea, also known as Royal Mahogany, Everfresh Tree, or the Wild Tamarind, is an elegant tropical species prized for its fine, feathery, bipinnate foliage and graceful form. Native from Mexico to Bolivia and the Caribbean, this tree brings a soft, airy beauty to any landscape or large indoor space. During the day, its delicate leaves open wide, casting dappled, filtered shade, and at night, they gently fold, offering a soothing, rhythmic display that feels alive and responsive. While its young foliage may resemble a sensitive plant, Cojoba arborea doesn't react to touch—instead, it moves with the sun cycle. Mature trees produce eye-catching red seed pods that burst open to reveal jet-black seeds, adding ornamental interest and supporting biodiversity.
