About

This small to medium-sized tree is a distinctive resident of swamp forests and riverine environments along the Kenyan coast. It features glossy, leathery leaves and produces small, creamy-white flowers, making it an attractive choice for specific landscape settings.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for garden areas with consistently moist to waterlogged soil, this tree thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is an excellent choice for wetland restoration projects, riverine plantings, or as a unique specimen tree in a damp garden spot, contributing to local biodiversity.

Growing notes

This species has a moderate growth rate and requires high water levels, especially when young, preferring consistently moist or even waterlogged conditions once established. It is well-suited to the humid coastal climate of Kilifi and requires minimal care once its preferred hydrological conditions are met.
