All parts of the plant (roots, leaves, stems, flowers and fruit) have been used in a variety of ways. Roots, leaves and stems are poisonous but have historically been used for medicinal purposes. Extracts from leaves have been used as an insect repellent for the skin and an insecticide to treat fungal infections such as leaf spot and powdery mildew.The fruit is high in ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
