About

This magnificent tree develops into a substantial canopy or emergent specimen, making it a prominent feature in its environment. It produces small, inconspicuous fruits that are a valuable food source for various local wildlife.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for spacious gardens and large-scale landscape projects in full sun and well-drained soil. It serves wonderfully as a majestic specimen tree, a broad shade provider, or a vital component in ecological restoration plantings, requiring considerable room for its mature size.

Growing notes

Exhibiting a moderate to fast growth rate, this robust tree is drought-tolerant once established. Due to its potentially extensive and vigorous root system, plant it well away from foundations, paving, and underground utilities.
