DIMENSIONS & CHARACTERISTICS: The platanillo is an herb that grows ten to fifteen feet tall. Their fruits, the yellow part poking out from under the bracts, are yellow at first but grow to be bluish purple as the plant matures. The plant enjoys lots of sun, and makes a great potted plant.
USES: The platanillo is used mainly as an ornamental plant. Having seen this plant in person before, I can say that the vibrant hues of the plant make it a very attractive plant.
FACTS: The natural wax coating on the leaves of the platanillo is as a natural defense mechanism against insects.
