The old folks say that every single plant has a use to man.

We like to raise medicinal herbs…. we only sell the cactus… but we’ve grown a good number of different plants that had some medicinal use.
For burns whether by hot exhaust pipes or by the sun, there is nothing that beats Aloe Vera. People also make it into a drink that is said to be healthy, although there is a process to remove the astringency in the sap. We just keep a plant on hand for the occasional burn….
Here’s that plant…. it’s over six feet wide.
