The Celtis Jalapa is an uncommon, small plant and can be found only in dark, shadowy places. It blooms once a year, for 5 months. It has narrow, spear shaped leaves, which are usually dark yellow. It also grows quite large flowers, which can be dark silver, silver and grey. These plants grow in small groups, but it's really tricky to control and maintain their growth. They have no real use. As a defense mechanism the Celtis Jalapa grow slippery leaves to prevent insects from easily eaten them. They rely on winds to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow fairly large, inedible nuts.
