Unique Facts About Seeds
Argan is scientifically known as Argania spinosa and is native to southwestern Morocco and nearby regions. It is especially adapted to dry, warm environments and can develop into a long-lived woody tree. The tree is famous for its distinctive fruit and its ecological importance in arid landscapes. When grown from seed, individual plants can naturally vary in growth and development.
