Is the dog poop bush a real thing?

In English it is pretty common to use the Spanish or indigenous name for Mexican natives (yucca, cocoa, agave, manzanita, Palo Verde, etc.) I wonder how many people actually call it dog poop bush.

Well, I was first introduced to guacimo as part of a college course in tropical biology. One of my classmates coined the name “granola tree,” and that’s what it has been to me ever since. So the dog poop bush may be a similar case, i.e. someone calling it what it reminded them of, and a few people they know adopting the name, too.
