Solanum Tote

Not sure what kind of solanum this is, but it grows into a small tree always covered with purple flowers and bright green fruit that bats devour as fast as they appear. Its spiny branches will grab you as you walk by and friends always tell me to cut it down. NEVER! Tapuio is a real area, but it is also representative of every small rural area ignored by biologists, ravaged by hunters and farmers, destroyed with little compensation. I am trying to raise awareness about this area, and by doing so, raise awareness about every small spot of forest often ignored by those who work to save forests and wildlife, ignored because it is not seen as pristine enough, not comfortable enough, not remote enough. Tapuio represents the overwhelming majority of devastated spaces, devastated wildlife areas, around the world. Sales of items from this shop help me raise awareness about destruction here in Tapuio, permitting me to secure both more time and better ways to protect this area. Interested in helping? Start with a purchase, then get in touch with me. We can't save the whole world at once. We save the world frog by frog, leaf by leaf.
