Image Ziziphus mistol griseb1.jpg 200px right thumb Ziziphus mistol or mistol is a spiniferous tree of the family Rhamnaceae , that belongs to genus Ziziphus , natural and very abundant of certain areas of Gran Chaco , South America . The word mistol derives from colonial era Spanish, from the word mixture mezcla since it was believed that mistol was a hybrid between species of genus Schinopsis because of the likely color of its wood to Spaniard colonists perception. Morphology The mistol varies greatly in height, it may reach 10 to 15 meters though most individuals have no more than 4 to 9 meters high. Trunk diameter is also variable, it ranges 20 to 60 centimeters. The branches are pubescent, abundant, with spines near the leaves, and arranged in zig zag. Its foliage is semi deciduous . Mistol leaves are oval shaped, alternate, entire, with three prominent basal veins, 2 7 cm long and slightly petiolated. It flowers late in spring, from October to December and fructifies from November to march. The fruit is an edible drupe, reddish hazel coloured, roughly spherical, 1 5 cm long, sweet and sugary, with a distinct bitterness when ripe. Mistol wood is quite tough, heavy and enduring hence its early confusion with that of Schinopsis genus . It is often used in hand held tools, carriage wheels and less frequently to produce slow burning coal. Usage Known for centuries before Spanish colonization of Gran Chaco, the mistol was a regular or even key dietary item for several local tribes of Indigenous peoples in South America South American Indians Comeching n comechingons , diaguita s, Quilmes tribe quilmes , etc. .
