Tree Spinach Plant

• Edible annual plant
• Pink-tinged young leaves make a good spinach substitute
• Small yellow-green flowers in summer
• Can be treated as cut-and-come-again salad crop

Steamed and topped with melted butter, the pink-tinged young leaves of tree spinach make a tasty substitute for spinach or chard, and they’re also delicious eaten raw in salads. Pick regularly for a constant supply of tender young leaves, or leave the plant to grow tall as an ornamental border plant.
