Apparently grows very tall, I saw adults a hundred feet tall with tiny silver leaves growing on small branches sporadically on the trunk.

“Calijito” in quechua is what a local told me.

    That app nailed it then, but I’m way too unfamiliar with plant species. I didn’t realize the giant trees around were adults until after I met that local who showed me the big trees were the same tree.

    Thanks, I’m going to go back out on the mountain and see if I can ID them again. And get a good lungful of spearmint. It’s crazy strong.
