Ziziphus Spina-Christi
Ziziphus Spina-Christi, commonly known as Christ's thorn jujube, is a thorny shrub or small tree native to the Middle East and parts of Africa. It can grow up to 10 meters tall and features small, oval leaves and yellowish-green flowers. The plant produces edible fruits that are often used in traditional medicine and as food.
This species is well-adapted to arid environments, thriving in poor soils and drought conditions. Its thorns provide protection from herbivores, while its deep root system helps it access water. Ziziphus Spina-Christi is also significant in various cultures, often associated with historical and religious contexts.
