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 
doing 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 birdÂs nest".  That sounds promising for bonsai.

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