Ha! It’s called car-pobrotus because it’s used for freeway landscaping. Ok, probably not, but I got mine to bloom recently after planting some cuttings and it felt great. 🤓
That would be at least one explanation for the name! 🤣 with most plant names I‘m just baffled, how did people see them and think „jup, that‘ll be a really fitting name“.
Oh my god I just wikipedia-ed it.
Quote: „The name comes from the Ancient Greek karpos "fruit" and brotos "edible", referring to its edible fruits.“
Its name literally is a simple „it has edible fruits“ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
