    Dead or Alive?
    Plants die. So, to determine if your plant is still among the living, scratch a small area of bark on the trunk. You can rub it with a coin or fingernail. If you see brown or black underneath, then the plant is dead. If you see green, then the plant is alive and will leaf out again. If the time is fall through spring, the plant is likely in full or partial dormancy. If the time is during the growing season, then the leaves may have temporarily dropped as a self pruning measure. This acts as a reset switch for the plant and is normally just temporary.

    It is a fruit tree of the Sapindáceas family, native to the intertropical zone of America. It is appreciated for its edible fruits, some drupes.
    M. bijugatus is a tree of good size, reaching 30 m high. Its leaves have helical alternation, 8 to 12 cm long, the upper ones and 3 to 6 cm the lower ones, pinnate, with 4 to 6 opposite leaflets of about 5 to 10 cm in length each. At the beginning of the wet season it produces panicles of small white or green florets, very fragrant. It is hermaphrodite; It produces masculine, feminine flowers and, occasionally, with both sexes. The whole year is season, especially from March to August.
    They are exceptionally rich in iron (0.93 mg per 100 g) and phosphorus (50.4 mg per 100 g). In Puerto Rico and Florida there has been some work of selecting varieties that produce fruits of superior characteristics, especially a greater proportion of pulp.
