HIBISCUS cannabinus "Kenaf "
Already several newspapers have printed paper produced from this plant. Its an annual fiber crop (stems resemble bamboo). In only 150 days it may reach a height of 20 or more'. It produces creamy white flowers similiar to cotton or hollyhock and the palmately compound leaves somewhat similar to marijuana (not related). Its paper quality is proving to be equal or superior to today's traditional newspapers. Numerous uses are yet being found. In warmer regions it may be grown as a wind shelter or as a living fence. It has use as a forage crop, in roof matting, particle board, etc.if grown in the landscape, or as an indoor ornamental it would not go unnoticed. In Florida, it is grown for beanpoles. It makes a magnificent backdrop plant.
We offer 2 varieties: Tainung 2 has the palmate leaf shape (i.e., looks like marijuana) and Everglades 41 has a cotton leaf shape for the fainter of heart.
