A tree in Rubiaceae that has certain opioid qualities. Is this tree worth having as a curiosity? Is it trouble, knowing it is banned in certain states and countries? Anybody have any experience with it?

So many species,

so little time.

Coconut Creek, Florida

Zone 10b (Zone 11 except for once evey 10 or 20 years)

Just had a friend visiting Bali who initially offered to bring seed back, then forward to me while I was still in FL. But, since she was returning to the States with a bunch of other items that had to clear Customs, she was concerned that the seeds would be discovered. And apparently the fines are quite hefty.

Jeff, I want to expand that to all overnight guests. It seems that if you live in south Florida, relatives come out of the woodwork - or frozen north - to visit. How did you get my number again?? And how are we related?? I don't remember Aunt Jane.
