Description
Castor oil belongs to the spurge family and is a highly poisonous plant. It grows naturally in temperate and tropical climates. Under ideal growing conditions, it can grow to over ten metres in height within a few months. While castor oil is non-toxic, the seeds are very toxic because of the ricin protein they contain.
