Noting that the Hablitzia Tamnoides is the same as my Caucasian Spinach. I do not know if the Caucasian Spinach was growing here by Shepard Mallory or the Historical Home we protect from 1901, built by a Master Builder who was his Master Builder before coming to Fort Monroe. Some of it was growing on the back of the house but we removed it to the fenced area in 2005.

Maybe we can trade one day; if I can bring myself to eat it.
Are you sure it is Hablitzia? As far as I understand the history of this plant, it was introduced to the US only in the mid-2010's.
