About

This impressive canopy tree is distinguished by its dense, spreading crown and robust trunk, providing substantial shade. It is particularly notable for its ramiflorous flowering habit, where blossoms emerge directly from the older woody stems and branches.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for large gardens, parks, or restoration projects on the Kilifi coast, this tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Its impressive size makes it an excellent choice for a majestic specimen tree or for creating significant shade.

Growing notes

A moderately fast-growing species, it establishes well and becomes drought-tolerant once mature. Requires minimal care, preferring a site where it can grow unimpeded to its full potential.
