Old Fustic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old Fustic (Morus tinctoria) is a medium to large tree of the New World rainforests. It comes from India and Africa. It produces a yellow dye and is primarily known for providing the khaki dye for U.S. military apparel during WWI.
It is not to be confused with Young Fustic (Rhus cotinus) from southern Europe and Asia, which provides a more fugitive colour.
