Ehretia tinifolia is a small, woody tree with reddish-brown to red-purple bark and coriaceous, elliptic leaves. Its flowers are white to Mexican pink and grow in clusters. The fruit is a fleshy, edible sphere that is consumed by various animals. This plant is commonly found in Mexico, southeastern USA, and some Central American and Caribbean countries. It has medicinal properties and is used for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, caution should be taken not to confuse it with the toxic piracanto or manzanita plant.
