In addition to the rather strange name “Tong Tree,” this type of tree is also known by names such as spotted leaf tree, milk leaf tree, and colorful leaf tree. Although it does not flower, its leaves are quite vibrant and stand out, not “lacking color” compared to other ornamental plants. However, you still need to be careful when planting this tree because its leaves, sap, trunk, and roots all contain toxins that can cause skin irritation.
