The Coronilla (scutia buxifolia) is a stout, short and thorny tree. It is very common in the hills and riverside forest of Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Northern Argentina. It has a very slow growth rate, just 2 millimetres by year. Its wood is hard and heavy, very appreciated for firewood. | The Coronilla (scutia buxifolia) is a stout, short and thorny tree.
