About

This critically endangered small to medium-sized tree is a rare find for conservation-focused gardens. It typically presents dense foliage, providing good shade and contributing significantly to local biodiversity.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal as a specimen tree in a sunny to semi-shaded spot, this tree thrives in well-drained Kilifi soils. Its compact to medium size makes it suitable for urban gardens or as part of a native forest restoration project, offering valuable canopy cover.

Growing notes

Expect a moderate growth rate; once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant, requiring minimal supplemental watering. Protect young plants from strong winds; mature trees are hardy in coastal conditions.
