### plant:

Mature plant
* Mature Plants can grow up to three meters tall.
* More mature plants can tolerate feeding damage with little effect on yield.
* Most mature plants produce seeds.
* are difficult to transplant as they are sensitive to shock
  - distasteful to animals and contain less of the toxin
  - more tolerant than seedlings
  - particularly competitive with winter annuals and shallow-rooted perennials
  - quite tolerant to most herbicides
  - very floriferous with flowers in autumn, winter and spring
* bear masses of white flowers followed by black fruit, but young plants flower little.
* bloom profusely, with flowers numbering in the tens of thousands
  - repetitively
* break off at ground level and tumble with the wind dispersing seeds.
* can be up to six feet tall
  - develop massive tap root structures
  - reproduce from coppice
  - tolerate higher salts than young plants
* can withstand periods of drought
  - short-term immersions
* decline quickly.
* develop a fringe of white hairs surrounding the black spine at the tip of each leaf
  - short stem
  - large extensive root systems that penetrate deeply into the earth
* die after seed is produced.
* do fine with just large bark, tree fern, or macadamia nut shells.
* give off rhizomes, which produce aerial shoots near the mother plant.
