If you're not already growing it, you should be.
Hibiscus is fast growing and grows almost anywhere. The leaves are strong and soft. When folded over or doubled up, make awesome toilet paper!
The bark is easily stripped, and when beaten, becomes thin strong fibres that make brilliant rope.
The plant is easy to train to make straight arrows.
The internal pulp makes great tinder when dried.
There's probably more to this plant, but that's all I can remember. Don's ask me what made me think of hibiscus, but I really should have mentioned it before....I must have.....somewhere.
