Cascara : Frangula purshiana

Fast growing native tree - wildlife approved.

The bark is used medicinally as a very strong laxative.

Supposedly from Chinook Jargon, "old-timers" called it Chittam or Chitticum (“shit come”) bark. This species is also sometimes referred to as Cascara Buckthorn, or Pursh’s Buckthorn.

Grows in many soil and light conditions.
