Datura Ceratocaula is in many ways an unusual Datura cultivar. In its natural habitat in Mexico, it grows in swamps and wetlands. The trunk is, differently from all the other thorn apples, hollow and the fruits have no spines but resemble a soft berry.

It is a very seldom variety that can be cultivated as a pot plant well as it grows fast and carries many blossoms. Wildly growing, the plant is responsible for the effect that the meat of some waterfowls can lead to intoxications and vomiting after the consumption. As these eat the leaves of the flower, its ingredients fortify in the meat.

The plant is very poisonous and should not be planted in gardens where toddlers play!
