Bought a very scrappy looking Potato Tree at Jesse Durko's, a 15gal for $75. The price isn't bad actually, but it's definitely a fixer upper. VERY leggy but with 2 mature trunks. There was new growth coming out of bottom and sides. I trimmed off wild skinny fingers back down to 1/2" branches. New growth comes seems to come where the branch has been cut. It needs a large pot with rich soil.
Same family as brugmansia, Solanaceae. It has the same narcotic properties evidently. The brittleness of the branches are similar to the brugs too.
